Description

In the spring and summer of 1864, while Gens. Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee clashed in Virginia and Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman and Gen. Joseph E. Johnston maneuvered it out in Georgia—what historian Richard McMurry has called “the Red Clay Minuet”—there was also plenty of action in North Mississippi. Johnston repeatedly urged President Jefferson Davis to send Maj. Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest and his much-feared cavalry legions to strike Sherman’s supply line in Tennessee, hoping to relieve the pressure in Georgia.
