Confederates under Gen. Hood move to strike Maj. Gen. Schofield at Columbia and Spring Hill to trap his 30,000 troops. After early successes, Union forces withdraw. Hood fails to mount a decisive, coordinated assault, altering the Tennessee campaign in late 1864. The stalled plan, weather delays, and missed opportunity squander Confederate momentum.

Barmecide Feast tale explained by William Penfield
