November 27, 1864
Franklin-Nashville
Campaign: Hood’s 39,000 men, consisting of three corps,
under Stephen D. Lee, Benjamin F. Cheatham, and Alexander P. Stewart, are able
to concentrate. Also attached to Hood’s
army is Nathan B. Forrest’s corps of cavalry, but there is bad blood between
Forrest and Hood, and the two generals do not communicate well. Hood orders Lee to concentrate south of
Columbia as a feint, while he marches Stewart and Cheatham to cross the river
west of Columbia.
