this is what rosecrans says in reply. i just received the batch announcing the fall of vicksburg and confirming the fall of lee. you do not appear to observe the fact that this noble army has driven the rebels from middle tennessee of which my dispatch has advised you. i beg on behalf of this army that the war department may not overlook so great an event because it is not written in letters of blood. i have now to repeat, that the rebel army has been forced from its strong entrenched position at shelbyville and tullahoma and driven over the cumberland mountains. and my cavalry advances within eight miles of the alabama line. no organized rebel force within 25 miles of there nor on this side of the cumberland mountains. bragg's retreat doesn't stop until they're in chattanooga. and never again except for that last death ride of the army of tennessee in 1864 will the army of tennessee penetrate middle or western tennessee with any hope of sustained success. that makes this campaign a great victory and when you consider the

contrary to rosecrans during the battle of chickamauga, who conveyed a sense of nervousness. those are two things. to go to a third thing, with that confidence he had and the calmness he conveyed, you might get the feeling that grant possibly might have been cocky. that there might have been a sense of cockiness and almost a supercilious sense of superiority. but grant was not that way. in fact, and this is my third point, humility, and amazing as of humility. again, i don't mean he lacked confidence. obviously he didn't. and i don't mean that he was not in command or insist on being in command, giving orders, and having his orders carried out. he did. but he had a great indifference to receiving adulation and recognition. grant just did not need to be celebrated, to have fanfares played for him or have his men cheer for him. he was indifferent to receiving recognition. i will say in a minute how i think that contributed to his leadership ability and getting his generals to do what he needed them to do, how he needed them to do it, when he needed them to do it. several storie
