The Civil War through the camera : hundreds of vivid photographs actually taken in Civil War times, together with Elson's new history . rk. Hood had detached a part of his forces and hedid all he could to gain time until he might recover his fullstrength. But he had respite only until Thomas was readyon the morrow, which was about noon. The Union armydeployed in front of the Southerners and overlapped their leftwing. An attack on the front was bravely met and repulsedby the Confederates, and the Federal leader, extending hisright, compelled his opponent to stretch his own lines more andmore. Finally they broke just to the left of the center, and ageneral forward movement on the Union side ended in the utterrout of the splendid and courageous Army of Tennessee. It melted away in disorder; the pursuit was vigorous, andonly a small portion reassembled at Columbia and fell backwith a poor show of order behind the Tennessee. Many military historians have seen in the battle of Nash-ville the most crushing defeat of the war. Certainly no otherbrought such complete ruin upon a large and well-organizedbody of troops. ;>%M i.
