Thus it will be seen that in March, 1865, General Canby was moving an adequate force against Mobile and the army defending it under General Dick Taylor; Thomas was pushing out two large and well-appointed cavalry expeditions-one from Middle Tennessee under Brevet Major-General Wilson against the enemy's vitJeff. Davis was trying to make his escape, sent forces in pursuit and succeeded in capturing him on the morning of May eleventh. On the fourth day of May General Dick Taylor surrendered to General Canby all the remaining rebel forces east of the Mississippi. A force sufficient to ensure an easy triumph over the enemy under Ki
