While the events described in the article's text represent everything that occurred in the campaign (including all of the events AFTER the Battle of Day's Gap), the battlebox on the right is only supposed to describe the events of that one battle. Therefore, although they ultimately surrendered, they did not surrender at the Battle of Day's Gap... Therefore, the battlebox should say one thing, while the text should say another. Get it? --brian0918� 12:49, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)
This really should be under Streight's Raid, because it describes the campaign, and you cannot really mention this single battle except in the context of the campaign because like it says, it resulted in other skirmishes and eventually failure on the Union side. It says "Streight's men managed to repulse this attack and as a result they continued their march to avoid any further delays and envelopments caused by the Confederate troops." That is true only on a larger scale that makes sense when discussing old fashioned line column tactics, which would make sense for almost any Civil War battle except one fought by Forrest. From where Forrest stood the rear attack did weaken and delay Streight, and contribute to his eventual failure.Shield2 (talk) 01:29, 11 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

The article is well written and the author's efforts are appreciated. In the second paragraph of the Aftermath section the author claims the name of the artillery lieutenant who shot Forrest in a pique of pride over his transfer. I have two Forrest biographies ([1] and [2]) and neither cares to identify the man. Could you cite your source for the claim as it is a rather exciting idea having to do with some private papers.
