Lightning Brigade

This mounted infantry also covered Lily's battery, which now consisted of six three-inch ordnance rifles.

And since Wilder was focused on speed, what he wanted for his new lightning brigade, he needed Lily's men to be mounted to.

Now, this is artillery now.

Usually, the artillerists walk.

I mentioned before, you know, we did a whole episode on the Tullahoma campaign, but basically, like you said, it's June of 1863.

Rosecrans wants to capture the Confederate Depot at Tullahoma, and they're going to pass through a valley called Hoover's Gap, like you mentioned.

But again, this episode, we talked a lot about it, but thanks to Wilder's speed and Lilly's fast-moving mobile artillery now, Wilder pushed the Rebs aside in the name the Lightning Brigade was

born.
