Wheeler botched the second Battle of Dover, Feb. 3, 1863 so badly that Gen. Forrest said he would never serve under him again. The Union garrison inflicted heavy casualties on a wasted Confederate assault. Forrest had warned him against it.

And the yankees torched the town, burning all but four of the buildings. Damn their eyes.
