Second Regiment Cavalry
Passed over the ground where we fought on the 30th of November; the rebel graves there made the place look like a graveyard. We learned from prisoners "that the rebels had, on the 3d, a division of infantry and a brigade of cavalry that were delayed thus by our regiment; they were uncertain as to what force was there. The slaughter with which their charges were repulsed led them to think that we had a larger force, and they maneuvered with their heavy force nearly all day. If they had moved on Franklin the result there might have been different. On the 18th we moved on the flank of the rebels as far as Spring Hill; were delayed in crossing Duck river on account of the pontoons taking the wrong road.
