Re: Another Battle of Raymond point

To put this into perspective:

The primary complaint here is that McPherson, at approximately 6:00 p.m., after pursuing the Confederates into Raymond, failed to continue the pursuit with his infantry past Snake Creek against Gregg's rear guard, 1100 cavalrymen.

This same body of cavalry, minus WHT Walker's 300 men, detained Sherman's Corps for 3 hours at Fourteen Mile Creek with the loss of 1 man killed.
