I' 11 Rosecrans to inaugurate his projected advance from Nashville into the heart of Middle Tennessee, found the Confederate Army of Tennessee, I! commanded qy General Braxton Bragg, concentrated in the Murfreesboro i ; I area. Lieutenant General Leonidas Polk's corps consisting of the ' I I infantry divisions, commanded qy Major Generals B. Franklin Cheatham ~· I and Jones M. Withers, and three brigades of Major General John C. Breck- i.nridge 1 s division, which were assigned to the corps, led by_ Lieutenant General William H. Hardee, constituted Bragg's center, and were camped in and around Murfreesboro. Brigadier General John K. Jackson's brigade which had until recently been guarding the railroad between Murfreesboro i I and Bridgeport, Alabama, had also been concentrated at the former town. I . I I Upon its arrival at MUrfreesboro, Jackson's brigade was assigned to Breckinridge 1 s division qy Bragg. The other division of Hardee's corps; co~anded by Major General Patrick R. Cleburne, reinforced by Brigadier General Daniel W. kia.'ll..S• 1 i 1 I ·brigade, of Breckinridge s division, was based at College Grove, near I I. I Eagleville, some 15 miles west of Murfreesboro. This force, with which I I Hardee maintained his headquarters, guarded the Confederate left. The I I right flank of Bragg 1 s arr;cy rested at Readyville, 12 miles east of Mur- l j I j I I ·I l frees'boro. Readyville was garrisoned by the division, led by 1-f..ajor I f I i i' [ , General John P. McCown. This division was an organic part of the corps, commanded by Lieutenant General E. Kirby Smith. But prior to the Stones River Ca."!lptaign, McCown had been directed by the Confederate War Depart- m~nt to report to Hardee for orders. The reason being that at this time Kirby Smith was in Knoxville, exercising corr.mand of the Department of East Tennessee.1 Bragg's once all powerful force of cavalr,y had been considerab~ reduced at the time that Rosecrans 1 Army of the Cumberland corr.unenced its forward movement. The redoubtable Brigadier General Nathan B. Forrest with some 1900 of his hard-riding troopers had crossed the Tennessee River into West Tennessee. At this ver,y moment Forrest's men were wreaking havoc on the Union Supply lines, which were used ~o fwmel supplies to Major General U~sses s. Grant's ~ of the Tennessee, then operating in North Mississippi. On December 221 four ~s before the I ~ of the Cumberland had marched out of Nashville, Bragg's other 1 I •. ! thunder'bolt-Brigadier General John H. Morgan had ridden out of Alexandria, I Tennessee, er~oute to Kentuc~. With him on his second Kentuc~ raid ¥..organ took a force consisting of 3100 rank and file, supported by seven pieces of artillery. The vital lo1lisville and Nashville Railroad, over which Rosecrans drew his supplies was the prilnary objective of Morgan and his "terrible men". The departure of these two crack commands, under their able leaders, served to reduce by one-~~1£ the strength of the . cavalr,y serving with the Arrr;y of Tennessee. Thus when the period of active campaigning comrr.enced, the Federals in Tennessee, for the first 2 ·~"-- I i ! ..... I ~ I i responsibility of screening the Confederates' left flank.

The hard-hitting brigade, co~~nded qy Brigadier General George Maney, of Cheatham's division, was I thrown f'or.liard to Stewarts Creek to bolster Wheeler's command. 7 A brig- ade from Cleburne's division, led qy the Brigadier General Stirling A.

Pegram's troops were supported qy Colonel I l John Q. !J:>omis, Alabama brigade, which was drawn .from Withers• division. Almost simultaneous~ with the receipt o.f the intelligence that Bragg's Ar~ of Tennessee had been weakened b.Y the departure of Forrest's 1 i and ¥..organ s raiders, to pray on the Union supply lines, Rosecrans I learned, from. his staff, that sufficient war material had been stock piled in the Nashville magazines to enable the Ar~ of the Cumberland to assu:rne the offensive. As matured Rosecrans' master plan called for i the following movements: Major General Alexander M. McCook 1 s Right I Wing, consisting of three divisions, would move out of the Nashville I i defenses, via the Nolensville pike, to Triune. Major General George R. Thomas; with two divisions, would advance on HcCook' s right. Thomas' command would utilize the Franklin and Wilson pikes as it pushed fox-,(ard. While McCook threatened Hardee's command in .front, Thomas• would threaten his left flank. Major General Thomas L. Crittenden, in command or the ' ' ' 4 three divisions which constituted the Army of the Cumberland's Left I l Wing, would move forward on McCook's left as far as lavergne, using I I i I ; l the Nashville pike as the axis of his advance. Once Tho~~s• two divi- sions reached Nolensville, McCook was to attack Hardee at Triune. I:f Bragg should decide to stand and fight and reinforced Hardee with Polk, Thomas was to rush to McCook's support. However, i.f McCook should de- feat Hardee unaided or force him to evacuate Triune without a fight, and the Rebels should mass behind Stewarts Creek, Crittenden was to spearhead the attack. If these circQ~stances came to pass, Tnomas was to move into position on Crittenden's right, while McCook, after II detaching a division charged with the mission of pursuing Hardee, would ! - l endeavor to turn the Confederates' left and get into their rear. After drafting these orders .for the guidance of his subordinates, Rosecrans scheduled D-d~ for the morning of the 26th.9 Prior to the .Army of the Cumberland's departure from Nashville, ,. Major General David s. Stanley, Rosecrans' hand-picked chief of cavalry, divided the 4200 troopers assigned to his organization into three com- !na.nds. The lst Brigade, co:nm.anded by Colonel Robert H. G. Minty, would operate along the Nashville pike, screening the advance of Crittenden's ; corps. Colonel Lewis Zahmis 2d Brigade would drive directly on Franklin, i I I covering the right flank or McCook's column, and brushing aside 'Wharton's I Rebel troopers. A reserve force consisting of' three recent~ organized ) I I l by ! regiments, stiffened four companies of the Jd Indiana Cavalry, would i receive their orders direct~ from General Stanl~. With this force 5 Stanl~ would cover McCook's corps as it pushed toward Nolensville. Colonel Minty would receive his orders directly from Colonel John Kennett, who co~~ded the division of" cava~. 10 i I At 6 a.m. on the 26th, several hours before Stanley's troopers put ! I in an appearance at McCook's camps which were situated on Mill Creek, I I five miles south of Nashville, the infantry had hit the road. The div- I ision, commanded qy Brigadier General Jefferson C. Davis, tramped south- ward along the Edmondson pike. Davis' division would utilize the Edmond- son pike as its avenue of advance as far as Prim's blacksmith shop. Here the division would turn into a country lane, which led to Nolens- II ville. Brigadier General Philip H. Sheridan's division trudged out of I the Mill Creek staging area at the same hour as Davis' did.- Sherida.."l used I as the axis of his advance, the Nolensville pike. McCook's third divi- sion, led qy Brigadier General Richard W. Johnson, followed in Sheridan's I wake. By the time that Stanley's conunand put in its appearance, the ,. roads leading to Nolens~lle were jammed with McCook's troops and their trains. It was apparent to the troopers that they would not be able to reach their assigned positions in advance of McCook's Right Wing, until 11 after the infantry had bivouacked for the night.

In addition the Central Area‟s development was not part of a unified real state scheme with coordinated public improvements (such as the Mount Baker community). For these reasons, it has never had official boundaries and various writers describe its extent in various ways. Almost all attempts to describe the neighborhood include a core area bounded by Madison Street on the north, Jackson Street on the south, 15th Avenue on the west, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Way (formerly Empire Way) on the east. In 1975, Nyberg and Steinbrueck identified the eastern boundary of the Central Area as 30th Avenue (more or less), and also included extensions to the north and south of the core area. The extension to the south of Jackson Street was bounded by 30th Avenue (approximately) on the east, Interstate 90 on the south, and the mid-block alley just east of Rainier Avenue South on the west. The extension to the north of Madison Street was bounded on the west by 23rd Avenue, on the east by the Washington Park Arboretum, and extended north to a line just north of East Helen Street marking the boundary between the plats known as the Madison Park Addition and the Hazelwood Addition Supplemental.1 Walt Crowley describes the neighborhood as a “sprawling residential district .

    Kepre$(ntativc Citizens DAVID WASSON STORMONT, M. D. With the death of Dr. David Wasson Stormont, at his beautiful home in Topeka, Kansas, on August i8, 1887, was brought to a close a useful and well-rounded life, rich in good deeds and dear to the memory of thousands. He was born September 26, 1820, at Princeton, Gibson County, Indiana. His father was a substantial man of that locality who was able to give his son the advantages of a college education. Dr. Stormont received his degree in 1845, and began and continued his practice until 1859, in the village of Grand View, Illinois, in the meantime adding to his medical knowledge and surgical skill by post-graduate courses at the University of Pennsylvania. In 1862 he sought the attractive field offered by the rapidly growing city of Topeka, with which city he was identi- fied during the succeeding 25 years. He was connected with many medical organizations and was a strong supporter of the movement that was organ- ized to spread a knowledge of advanced methods and to require a higher standard of medical education for the profession. For a number of years he was secretary of the State Board of Health. In practice he was all that could be desired in a physician, adding to this medical skill the true sympathy of a tender-hearted man. The influence Dr. Stormont wielded, both directly and by his stimulating example, was not confined in its effects entirely to the medical profession, but was apparent in the promotion of educational and philanthropic works.

  • The Shiloh Letters of George W. Lennard
    “Give Yourself No Trouble About Me”: The Shiloh Letters of George W. Lennard Edited by Paul Hubbard and Christine Lewis” Hoosiers were stout defenders of the Union in the Civil War, and one who came forward willingly to serve and die was George W. Lennard. When the Thirty-sixth Indiana Volunteer Infantry regiment was organized in September, 1861, Lennard joined its ranks as a private soldier but was immediately elected lieutenant and named as adjutant. His duty with the Thirty-sixth was short-lived, however, because within weeks he was made a captain and assigned as aide-de-camp to Brigadier General Thomas J. Wood, who in the Shiloh campaign com- manded the Sixth Division of Major General Don Carlos Buell’s Army of the Ohio. Shortly before the battle of Murfreesboro, or Stone’s River, December 31, 1862-January 2, 1863, Lennard was commissioned lieutenant colonel of the Fifty-seventh Indi- ana Volunteer Infantry, and at that battle he was wounded while fighting with his regiment. After convalescing in the spring of 1863, he rejoined his unit for the campaign against Chattanooga under Major General William S. Rosecrans. When the Federal forces occupied that city in September, 1863, Len- nard was detailed as provost marshal, and he had no part in the Battle of Chickamauga. The Fifty-seventh Indiana, how- ever, did participate in the storming of Missionary Ridge in November, and Lennard escaped unscathed in that dramatic assault. In the spring of 1864 fortune deserted him, and as the Army of the Cumberland marched toward Atlanta, he was wounded at Resaca, Georgia, on the afternoon of May 14 and died that evening.’ * Paul Hubbard is professor of history, Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona.
