A Jan 1864 overview recounts Sherman and Grant plans for a Vicksburg to Meridian expedition with 20,000 infantry and 7,000 cavalry to wreck the Mobile and Ohio Railroad. It details Smith and Sherman orders, cavalry raids across 115 miles of track, and the broader Union aims against Confederate infrastructure and defenses. It also notes a dramatic Libby Prison escape of 109 officers through a tunnel, crafted by Colonel Rose and colleagues, exiting into an empty shed near Jackson.
General Sherman crossed toward Meridian with three cavalry brigades and a Fourth United States cavalry battalion.

He later claimed his aim was to paralyze the enemy and to deny Forrest and his irregulars the ability to threaten Memphis and river routes.
