The First Meeting, by Dan Nance, 2010.
Although they had opposed each other across battlefields, the April 17 meeting at the Bennett home marked the first time these famous commanders met face to face. Johnston was accompanied by cavalry commander, Gen. Wade Hampton and elements of the 5th South Carolina Cavalry. Sherman was accompanied by cavalry commander Gen. Judson Kilpatrick and an assortment of troopers from the 9th Pennsylvania, 13th Pennsylvania, 2nd Kentucky, and 8th Indiana. |
