Grant liked Baldy Smith until Smith failed him in the Petersburg cmapaign. The one problem with Grant was that if you made a negative impression on him early, it was hard to get him to alter his opinion o fyou later on. I am thinking of Buell, Lew Wallace, Rosecrans and even the great George H. Thomas. Grant had hard feelings aobut Thomas because Halleck replaced Grant with Thaoms (eventhough Thomas did not want it) shortly after Shiloh when Halleck kicked Grant upstairs to be his 2nd in command and gave Thomas temporary command of Grant’s army. Grant’s favorites were: Sherman (a medicore tactician), Sheridan, Ord and McPherson.

I must have been thinking somewhat of Baldy Smith who was responsible for “the cracker line” that saved the army when Chatanooga was besieged following the defeat at Chickamauga, although my memory seems to have abandoned me generally.

I had forgotten that Johnson took over for Bragg - until Davis got tired of his failure to engage (McClellan syndrome?) and put JB Hood in there to fight. As I recall, he wasn’t disappointed.

Also the following year (1864) Bragg was not in command of the Army of Tennesse. It was Jospeh E. Johnston. The Aof T was destroyed (Generqal Hood replacing Johnston in July 1864)at Franklin and Nashville by Generals Schofield (Franklin) and Thomas (Nashville).

Rick:
Grant and Rosey despised each other ever since the Corinth and Iuka battles of September and October 1862. Rosey took a pot shot at Grant saying that his accomplishments (Rosey’s) was not written in rivers of blood (a shot at Grant’s willingness to achieve high casualties). Grant fired Rosecrans after the defeat at Chickamauga when Lincoln made him overall commander in the West. Chickamauga was a Union defeat not a victory. Grant replaced Rssoecrans with the greatest Union commander (in my opinion) George H. Thomas (a Virginian by the way) eventhough Grant and Thomas never cared for each other. When Grant came East he made Sherman commander in the West although Thomas’s combat record was flawless and he was Sherman’s superior as a soldier, and I suspect as a man.

I knew someone would notice Rathbone. It seemed a good device since he was an aide to Lincoln (although I have no idea when he became one).

And you’re absolutely correct about Rosey. Bragg was actually ordered to invade Ohio at the same time Lee was invading the north as I recall. The plan was to put pressure all along the front so that the various union armies couldn’t re-enforce each other.

Grant liked Rosey a lot even after Chickamuage. And I think his campaign the following year in destroying Bragg’s army was textbook stuff.
