It is therefore of the utmost importance on the very point in issue. To make good your assertion, you must not only show that the army was surprised and slaughtered in their tents, but that the Generals, whom you accused, did not use the means which were in their power to prevent surprise. The reconnoisance by the two parties sent by their Generals, the afternoon and night before the battle, you tacitly admit to have been sufficient. They stationed six companies as picket- guards. Was not this ...sufficient ? The largest number that I remember to have met with, in casual reading, was seven companies ; and that from an army of one hundred thousand men. The reconnoisance three miles beyond the camp, at 3 o'clock A. M. , would seem to be all that could be devised for additional morning watch. But Gen. Sherman did not know until 8 o'clock whether it was a mere demonstration or an attack in force. How could he know? He ordered his men in line of battle, as he would have done had he known there would be an attack in force, 8 gave word to the Generals of divisions in his rear, and then went himself to reconnoitre.
