- "On April 17, 1863 Benjamin Grierson led a force of 1,700 Union cavalrymen across enemy lines into Confederate-held Tennessee in a bold diversionary raid. Over the next 17 days, Grierson's horsemen caused havoc by destroying railroad track, attacking outposts, burning military stores, and fighting numerous small actions, before breaking back through into Union territory at Baton Rouge. The raid ... caused ... the Confederates ... to divert thousands of troops away from the front lines during General Grant's critical Vicksburg offensive"--Page 4 of cover.
