John M. Schofield, Forty-six years in the Army, Chapter VI (search)
in spirit, but most of it is literally false. If an answer or explanation is on any account desirable, I shall be glad to make it. To-day I received from the President a despatch saying: Think you will not have just cause to complain of my action. . . . The next day the President made this reply to the radical delegation: executive Mansion, Washington, D. C., October 5, 1863. Hon. Charles D. Drake and others, Committee. gentlemen: Your original address, presented on the 30th ultimo, and the four supplementary ones, presented on the 3d inst., have been carefully considered. I hope you will regard the other duties claiming my attention, together with the great length and importance of the documents, as constituting a sufficient apology for my not having responded sooner. These papers, framed for a common object, consist of the things demanded, and the reasons for demanding them. The things demanded are: First. That General Schofield shall be relieved and Gen

ime to make any serious attack that day. So far as our little army was concerned, for the moment all would have been well. But Hood would have been in front of Franklin, with his whole army, artillery, and ammunition-trains, by dawn of day on the 30th; he could have forced the crossing of the Harpeth above Franklin early that day, compelled us to retire to Nashville, and interposed his cavalry between Nashville and Murfreesboroa that night or early on December 1. Thus Thomas's remaining reinfothe morning; therefore our condition for battle at Franklin would not have been materially different, in time or otherwise, from what it actually was. Hood's artillery, as well as his infantry, could have reached Spring Hill before daylight on the 30th, and would have had practically a clear road to Franklin; for the enemy's superior cavalry having been interposed between our cavalry and infantry, it was necessary for our infantry, artillery, and trains to retreat from Spring Hill to Franklin in

e enemy's cavalry is already crossing three miles above. I will have lively times with my trains again. This despatch gives a very accurate estimate of the true situation at that time, except perhaps that I did not then fully appreciate how much our cavalry had gained in effective strength by the reinforcements that had joined the corps in the field during the retreat. I judged by the experience of the previous day (November 29). But the result was very different in the afternoon of the 30th, when our cavalry repulsed and drove back that of the enemy; at the same time the infantry assault was repulsed at Franklin. There was no apprehension of the result of an attack in front at Franklin, but of a move of Hood to cross the river above and strike for Nashville before I could effect a junction with the troops then at that place. The following despatches must have been sent either during the progress of the battle, or very soon afterward: Please send A. J. Smith's division to
