Content

Notes that he has returned the map with "suggestions," the most important regarding [Alexander McDowell] McCook's "abortive" movement up the Sequatchy Valley in Tennessee; that Rosecrans "took up the reins" at Bowling Green (Ky.) during Bragg's invasion; and the pursuit continued to London rather than Mount Vernon (Ky.) He also notes that the map belonged to the the "Buell court proceedings" and probably not published. He also notes that he hopes corrections can be made to Wheeler's article. The map features marks made by Buell regarding the movements of the armies in 1862.
