Sir: The report of the campaign of the Army of the Cumberland, beginning in the first week of May, 1864, and ending with the capture and occupation of Atlanta, is made from personal knowledge beginning on the 10th day of June, 1864.

Forrest's defeat of Sturgis at Brice's cross-roads (June 10th, 1864). by E. Hunn Hanson, Adjutant, 4TH Missouri cavalry, U. S. V., A. D. C. Waring's Brigade.
In May, 1864, in order to protect his long line of communication, General Sherman ordered an expedition from Memphis to defeat Forrest's cavalry, then in northern Mississippi, and thereby prevent its descent upon his line of advance.
Accordingly, on the 1st of June, a small but well-organized force began its march from White's Station, near Memphis.
On the following day General Samuel D. Sturgis was placed in command.
Some weeks earlier he had commanded an expedition sent out from Memphis to intercept Forrest on his march southward after his capture of Fort Pillow and the massacre of its garrison, but had been unable to do so. On the 8th of June, before the enemy had been met, Sturgis, although he had supplies sufficient for eleven days, desired to give up the expedition, but was dissuaded.
The cavalry was commanded by
