The following article, by a correspondent embedded with the Army of the Cumberland’s Cavalry Corps, appeared on page four of the July 8, 1863 issue of The New York Herald. The entire issue is fascinating, as it covers the fall of Vicksburg, the retreat from Gettysburg, and Tullahoma. Nearly all of page four is devoted to the Tullahoma Campaign, which is often overlooked as compared to the other two campaigns.
MR. E.D. WESTFALL’S DESPATCHES Headquarters, Reserve Corps Army of the Cumberland Shelbyville, Tenn., June 28, 1863
