Rise of Rosecrans Army and Nashville Campaign
General W. S. Rosecrans took command of the Federal forces in Kentucky creating the Army of the Cumberland. The new army moved on Nashville, facing Bragg's Confederate forces and mounting raids, with Rosecrans reorganizing veteran brigades after Shiloh. The narrative traces Bragg's Kentucky push, Perryville, and the strategic need for a western leader to head the Army of the Cumberland's push toward Louisville and Nashville.
