Appendix B (2).
General Johnston estimated the
Federal force in his front at 15,000 to 20,000; in the Lower Green River country at 3,000; near
Camp Dick Robinson, at 10,000; and elsewhere in
Northern Kentucky, at 10,000.
These figures were substantially correct.
Sherman's command, from his own account, may be tabulated thus: |
Fourteen regiments at Nolin (his figures) | 13,000 |
Twenty-eight regiments mentioned (estimated) | 26,000 |
Nelson's command | 4,000 |
Ten regiments not mentioned | ,000 |
Total | 48,000 |
This does not include Home Guards.
