is. And now just here you will pardon me while I point out to you — as a warning to historians — wherein you have perpetuated his errors in your article. You repeat, in reference to Allatoona, Hood ordered French's division to move up the railroad to Allatoona mountain, and destroy the railroad at that point, capture the garrison, supposed to consist of three and one-half regiments, and destroy the depot of army stores accumulated there; and also, if possible, burn the bridge across the Etowah river. Now, Hood says on page 257, in Advance and retreat, I had received information — and General Shoup records the same in his diary — that the enemy had in store at Allatoona, large supplies, which were guarded by two or three regiments. As one of the main objects of the campaign was to deprive the enemy of provisions, Major-General French was ordered to move his division, capture the garrison, if practicable, and gain possession of the supplies. By his own words I will make him con

ding myself, in Hood's Advance and Retreat. On page 326 it is written: Just at this critical juncture, General French received information which he considered correct, but which subsequently proved false, that a large body of the enemy were moving to cut him off from the remainder of the army, and he immediately withdrew his command from the place without having accomplished the desired object. On page 147, volume II. General W. T. Sherman says in his Memoirs: I reached Kennesaw mountain about 8 A. M. of October 5: * * that I could plainly see the smoke of battle about Allatoona and hear the faint reverberation of the cannon. From Kennesaw I ordered the Twenty-Third Corps (General Cox) to march due west on the Burnt Hickory road, and to burn houses and piles of brush as it progressed to indicate the head of the column, hoping to interpose this corps between Hood's main army at Dallas and the detachment then assailing Allatoona.

Further, if he knew of the garrison and vast stores, and wished them captured, why did he leave the command sent there isolated and unprotected? The facts in the case are these: Hood, with the main army, moved westerly toward Lost Mountain and New Hope church, while Stewart's corps struck the railroad near Big Shanty. Loring went to Ackunth, Walthall to Moon Station, and my command to Big Shanty to destroy the railroad. We continued at this labor all the evening of the 3d, al

Movement against Allatoona — letter from General S. G. French. Columbus, Georgia, May 30, 1881. Major D. W. Sanders, Louisville, Kentucky: Dear Major — Yours of the 24th instant is just at hand. I have carefully examined your article on General Hood's campaign in Tennessee, that you read before the Southern Historical Society of Kentucky. I appreciate the motive that induced you to write the article to vindicate the army that he commanded against some unjust accusations he made to shield his own errors. In this you have well succeeded. You have also vindicated General Cheatham; and yet, I never thought he needed it, for General Hood being present at the front, in person, from 2 P. M., till sun-rise the next morning, of itself vindicated the command for not doing that which it came so cheerfully to do. Hood told me that he pointed out to Cheatham the enemy's wagons passing along the turnpike in his front, and said to him, Turn those wagons into our camp! and yet the si
