Miller, Photographic History of the Civil War, Vol. 2, pp290-291: In The Beleaguered City. Headquarters of General Thomas At Chattanooga. In The parlor of this little dwelling sat Ulysses S. Grant on the evening of October 23, 1863. Muddy and rain-soaked from his long ride, he was gravely consulting with General Thomas and his officers. The Army of the Cumberland was in a serious predicament, summed up by Thomas’ reply to Grant’s first order from Nashville: “We will hold the town till we starve.”
Library of Congress incorrectly says: Gen. Sherman’s headquarters, Chattanooga, Tenn.
