To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
These desultory, but vigorous operations on the part of Forrest, gave both Grant and Sherman considerable uneasi- ness, although they were of a character which gave promise of greater damage than was actually inflicted upon the national cause. Had Forrest fully appreciated his power, and the fa- cility with which he might have reached the single line of rail- way at almost any point south of Chattanooga, he could have crippled Sherman most seriously if he had not suspended his operations entire...ly. Had the rebel President directed the union of Forrest's cavalry with Wheeler's, and authorized Johnston or Hood to use these forces, it is difficult to see how Sherman with his deficiency in cavalry could have pos- sibly maintained his long lines of communication for a single day, instead of four months. Such a consolidation of com- mands would have given the rebels a force of not less than 15,000 horse, which in skillful hands could have gone almost anywhere within the theatre of operations.
