Wilson's Cavalry Operations in Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat General Thomas was not slow at Nashville is ancient history. General Grant, who was the first to charge it, was also the first to withdraw the imputation, by declaring in his official report that at the time he had been very impatient over what appeared as unnecessary delay on the part of Thomas, \"but his final defeat of Hood was so complete that it will be accepted as a vindication of that distinguished officer's judgment.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ostensible reason for heralding Thomas as slow — so slow, indeed, as to require his removal and lead to an order for it — was that he insisted upon concentrating his infantry force and remounting his cavalry. Secretary Stanton declared that the delay would be till doomsday if Thomas waited for the latter.","brand":"VolumesOfValue","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47152639541488,"sku":"2940013470279","price":3.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013470279_p0.jpg?v=1763581826","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013470279","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
