could have been put upon the railroad between Resaca and Dalton. The result would then, in all pro occupy and hold a position between Dalton and Resaca. As it was, Thomas should have followed closely retreated before him to the new position at Resaca. The result would have been essentially the sSherman thinks McPherson ought to have done at Resaca; and, as Sherman says, such an opportunity doed in his orders. If McPherson had assaulted Resaca, it is possible, but only possible, that he miate with the extent of the line, like those at Resaca, were successfully assaulted. It is true thastly superior to the single brigade that held Resaca that day, but that practically amounts to nothlt such as would have been required to capture Resaca on May 9, 1864. Clearly, such an assault shoun. The only chance of success was to invest Resaca on the west and north, and put between the inveated any possible attempt to cut him off from Resaca.

t time I ever saw General Sherman and General Hooker together, or got even a suspicion that their personal relations were other than the most satisfactory, was at Resaca. Cox's division had gained possession of some portions of the enemy's outer works, so that from a bald hill just in rear of our line some parts of the main line ery,--when we were moving into action that morning, exploded near my head, and killed the aide who was riding behind me. Captain A. H. Engle, who was killed at Resaca, was a most charming and talented youth, only twenty years of age. That was his first battle. He was caterer of the headquarters mess.

efers to in his despatch of October 16: Your first move on Trenton and Valley Head was right; the move to defend Caperton's Ferry is wrong. Notify General Thomas of these, my views. But the difference between right and wrong proved immaterial, since Hood was left free to escape down the Chattanooga valley. Why this was done, or why Sherman did not want to force the enemy east, by Spring Place, into the barren mountains, where Johnston would have been compelled to go if McPherson's move on Resaca in May had been successful, seems a mystery. The explanation is probably to be found in Sherman's wish that Hood would go where he would not be compelled to follow, and thus would leave him (Sherman) a clear road for his march to the sea. Indeed the conviction seems irresistible that Sherman and Hood could hardly have acted in more perfect concert if they had been under the same commander. The one did exactly what the other wanted, and the other took care not to interfere with his movement
