Excerpt from The Battle of Spring Hill, Tennessee: Read After the Stated Meeting Held February 2d, 1907

This paper, while indulging in extravagant praise of the generalship of Schofield and Cox during that retreat, to which no one would raise any serious ob jection, descended to the sneaking methods of an assas sin in its desire to smirch the reputation of Wagner's Division a division, which by its conduct in both the Battles of Spring Hill and Franklin, saved the army from an imminent danger of destruction to which it was subjected by grossly incompetent generalship. As an instance of the covert methods used by Captain Scofield in his efforts to dishonor Wagner's Division, in describing what occurred in the Battle of Franklin, he cunningly puts the ugly word, cowards, which he was afraid to use himself, into the mouth of Gen eral Wagner with terrible oaths he called them cowards, and he indorses the fitness of the epithet by his own statement: but back they went to the town and nothing could stop them.
