[TexConfederate1861]

Just what did Hood run away from? I don't recall his Texas Brigade running EVER!

[Conan the Librarian]

Thomas at Nashville. The Army of Tennessee was totally routed and all but destroyed. SD Lee managed to save the day to a degree, but, the army was gone, what was left went to Mobile. Get Shelby Foote, Vol 3. Read about the Nashville Campaign.

Don't get me wrong. Hood was a Great Brigade/Divisional Leader and the Texans were like Rocks.....but he couldn't handle an army. He needed that guidance from strong superior to make him great.
