March 2 - Tennessee Civil War Notes


2, Confederate and Federal scouts in Gallatin and Carthage environs
Carthage, March 2, 1863.
Maj.-Gen. ROSECRANS:
I have information that the rebels intend capturing the fleet on its way down the river. No gunboats have yet been seen. I shall detain them, unless otherwise ordered, till gunboats arrive.
Respectfully,
GEORGE CROOK, Brig.-Gen.
Carthage, March 2, 1863.
Maj.-Gen. ROSECRANS:
The cavalry from Gallatin has not yet reported nor been seen. The enemy has been scouting all around us, and we can do nothing with these small parties without cavalry.
Respectfully,
GEORGE CROOK, Brig.-Gen.
OR, Ser. I, Vol. 23, pt. II, pp. 98-99.
