Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln, Vol. 9: A History Amount of rolling stock was then in his possession, but he laid a strong hand upon all the cars in his reach, and, like the footsteps that approached the lion's den, none ever went back to their place of departure. The president of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, finding himself reduced to se vere straits from the dearth Of cars, protested loudly; but Sherman held firm, and tried to com fort him by telling him to keep his repair shops busy night and day, and that the business of his road would double and quadruple as the waters of the Cumberland fell. A still more earnest protest came from the people of Tennessee, who had already suffered so many hardships during the war and now saw themselves threatened with famine by the action of the Union general. They appealed to the President, who interposed his good word with Sherman in behalf of the Tennesseeans. He replied that the railroad could not supply the army and the people too. One or the other must quit, he said. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
