because Beach was the more tunable place
Snake Creek Gap was left mguarded, he-
causc it, was regarded as of law importance,
and would require a larger body of troops to

Finding Snake Creek Gap unoccupied by
Confederctcs, McPherson moved on through
it. He had with him 23,000'men of the flow-
er of the western army, Sherman’s own old
Army 02‘ the Tennessee. Sherman gave him
this army and - the advance because he con-
sidered McPherson’s task so important. The
chief says, moreover, that; he found. Thomas’
army had had so much work and glory that
he found the other commands a. little jealous
on this account, and so e'udeavorcd to equal-
ize honors. .

At 9;). 231., May 9, Sherman received anom-

were a small 03va brigade—Cauty’Sr—at
the inner entrance of Sofia Creek Gap, and
these were easily driven before him, At this
news “we all felt jubilant,” says Gen. Sher-
man.
McPherson had not received positivcorders
to attack, but it was expected he would do so.
He continued to advance towards L "can;

The Union armies to the north believel

cmte force too heavy at Resaca, and that ho.
had fallen back to a. strong posi‘ion on the?

that McPhcr-mu could we “walked int-3 Re-

If McPherson had elther entered Rcsaca or
taken position on the l‘aih'oad north of it,
Sherman and the Union historilms are of
Opinion that- n gxcata disaster would then and!
there have fallen upon J olmstonut the very

Johnston hiuoclf is of the opposite opinion.
It is well to know both sides. John-35315.01:

he would haye attacked cPherson with such

have insured his destruction. '
