We are the little known history of the Army of Tennessee after the Kentucky Campaign, coming through Springfield to Gallatin, part detour (Morgan’s Men) to Ridgetop and before Morgan’s 1,000 Mile Raid, but it was significant in the amount of trstles and block houses destroyed cutting the line between Louisville and Nashville; from Clarksville too. Morgan had a tunnel, with train in it, blown up in a County west of Robertson cutting that line. So for some time occupied Nashville was isolated logistically.
