Many 11 i >i or : c-of the conflict have been so bitterly partisau .is to .-poil their value as a serious review of a great subject. .The battle of Krank li ii (Tenn.), November. 1804," is described and studied by .Jacob I). Cox, late Major (j cu eral, commanding Twenty-third Army Corps. The book is published by the Scribner? and contains many maps of the territory in i|uestion. General Cox states that he promised t?> write the story of thc battle, upon which his fi ?ends insisted, if he should live to ?cc the completion of thc great work undertaken by thc Government in printing thc "Official Rscords of the Cn iou and Confederate Armies." As the last volumes of the principal series of those records are passing through the press, Ccncral Cox re deems his promise. The situation of thc forces of thc Union and Confederacy in the fall of 1864 was this : Grant was watching Lee in Virginia. Sherman was at At lanta with a large army, and Hood's forces were in camp in Northern Geor gia. It appears that it was Hood's idea to turn Sherman's position by a somewhat wide detour to the west of Atlanta, and to carry the war again into Northern Georgia, or even into Tennessee. .Sherman decided to con centrate his own forces of Atlanta, and to send an army under the com mand of Thomas in pursuit of Hood. (iencrai Cox is very complimentary to Hood. Ile remarks upon his mili tary ability nnd energy of character. The author says : "Thc effective force under General Thomas, in Middle and Southern Tennessee, was ti5,000, offi cers and men 'present for duty, equip ped,' which was thc official phrase in dicating complete readiness for aotive service. The aggregate present was somo 20,000 more. These figures do not include the troops in Schofield's department of the Ohio in East Ten nessee and Kentucky, nor those of the military division between the Tennes see and Mississippi Rivers, all of which were subject to Thomas' orders. Hood's army in thc field numbered 42.000 or 43,000 men of all arras, and had been very closely estimated by General Sucrnian. - " As carly as October 29, Sherman, in promising to send Schofield back, had urged Thomas 'to break up all miner posts and get about Columbia as big an army as you can, and go at him.' Again, two days later, he reit erated: 'You must unite all your men into ono army, and abandon all minor points, if you expect to defeat Hood.'" General Cox's purpose in writing his book was principally to controvert many statements and misstatments of some of his colleagues in the Union Army. He has designed his book as a military study. He reviews, in separate chapters, the work of the va rious divisions of the armies. Here is the description of the Confederate attack, which inc ??iu?f qU?i?a fr??i a speech of General George W. Gordon at Ufo* unveiling of a statute to Gen eral Cleburne. General Gordon was captured by the Union Army in this engagement : "As the array," said, General Gor don, "with a front of two miles or moro in length, moved steadily down the heights and into the valley below with flying banners, beating drams and bristling guns, it presented a scene of the most imposing grandeur and magnificence. When we had ar? rived within about 400 paces of the enemy's advanced line of intrenoh mcnts our columns were halted and deployed into two lines of battle pre paratory to the charge. This advanc ed position of the enemy was not a continuous, but a detached line, manned by tws brigades and situated about GOO paces in front of his main line of formidable works, and was im mediately in fr??t ut Oleburn'a left and Ch ca thain's right. When all was ready the charge was ordered. With a wild shout, we dashed forward upon this line. The enemy delivered one volley at our rushing ranks, .and pre cipitately, fled for refuge to his main and rear linc. Thc shout was raised, 'Go into the works with them.' This cry was taken up and vociferated from a thousand throats as we rushed on after the flying forces we had routed -killing Home in our running fire, and capturing others who were slow of foot -sustaining but small losses our selves, until wc arrived within about 100 paces of their main linc and stronghold, When it seemed tome that hell itself had exploded in OUT faces. The enemy had thus long reserved their fire for thc safety of their routed comrades who were'flying to them for protection, and who were just in front of and mingled with the pursuing Confederates. When it became no longer safe for themselves to reserve their fire, they opened upon us (re gardless of their own men who were mingled with us) such a hailstorm of shot and shell, musketry and canister that the very atmosphere was hideous with the shrieks of the messengers of death. Thc booming of cannon, the bursting of?bombs, the rattle of mus ketry, the shrieking of shells, the whizzing of bullets, thc shouting of hosts and the falling of their men in their struggle for victory, ul 1 made a scene of surpassing terror and awful gr a ndcur." lt was in the center of thia storm of war that Cleburne appeared. General Gordon continued : "Amid this scene General Cleburne came chargiug down our line to the left, and diagonally toward the ene my's works, his horse running at full speed, and if I had not personally cheeked my pace as I ran on foot he would have plunged over and trampled me to the earth. Ou he dashed, but for an instant longer, when rider and horse both fell, pierced with many bullets, within a few paces of thc ene my's works." , To surrender was the fate of those brave Confederates. Meanwhile the battle was raging around them. General Cox remarks : "Hood bore with patience the penalty of failure, but justice requires the clear acknowl edgement that, bi? faith in the attack has been, and perhaps still is, the prevalent military creed in Continen tal Europe. His tactics of assault in deployed linc with supports arc not far from approved methods, supposed to be developed by late wars, lt would bc hard to match in dash and perseverance the veteran Confederate battalions of 1864 ; it would be impos sible to surpass the leaderships of the officers who headed the charges upon the field." The author states that "Hood had more men killed at Franklin t J died on one side in some of the greatest conflicts of the war, where three, four, or even five times as many men were engaged. His killed were more than Grant's at Shiloh, McClellan's in the Seven Days' Battle, Burnside's at Fredericksburg, Bosecran's at Stone River or at Chicamauga, Hooker's at Chancellorsville, and almost as many as Grant's at Cold Harbor." From the records now published by the Government, General Cox claims that Schofield's army numbered 29, 234, while Hood's force was two or three hundred less than 24,000.
