American Civil War
Fourteenth Regiment Infantry
At this time not a man had been sworn, or had signed an enlistment paper. My regiment had been repeatedly complimented in general orders for its discipline, efficiency, and bravery, and I knew its course had been highly satisfactory to Major General Thomas. I therefore telegraphed to headquarters Department of the Cumberland, asking whether my regiment was to be dismounted, that I might act advisedly, and not mislead recruits. It had been ordered that my regiment should be furloughed by detachment, from the fact that I could not be relieved, and holding ten posts but half my regiment could be spared at a time.
