would be that
Schofield, as our commanding general, was entitled to great credit for
that repulse. At that time the truth concerning Schofield's connection
with the battle was known to a few men only and those who would have
exposed his pretensions, if they had had any knowledge of what he was
claiming, were all far away in Tennessee. The claim for distinguished
services which Schofield succeeded in impressing upon "Honest Old Abe" may
be fairly inferred from the very extraordinary promotion given him over
the heads of many able and deserving officers--namely, from captain to
brigadier-general in the regular army, to date November 30, 1864, with a
brevet as major-general "for gallant and meritorious services in the
battle of Franklin, Tennessee."
