10th Regiment Cavalry
This movement was perhaps more imposing and threatening in appearance than in fact. There is no doubt that it created some apprehensions at General Thomas's headquarters. Stoneman at Louisville wag directed to send at once to East Tennessee all the mounted men he could raise, while Steedman at Chattanooga was ordered to send all the men he could spare to Knoxville. General Ammon was in command of the district of East Tennessee, with headquarters at Knoxville, with General Tillson in command of the fortifications at Knoxville and all outposts, of which that at Strawberry Plains was one.
