Historical note
In
Tennessee
,
many
sons
of
prominent
Tennessee
families
had
prepared
for
life
as
professional
soldiers
by
attending
military
preparatory
academies
or
obtaining
commissions
to
West
Point
.
When
war
was
declared
, they were
automatically
given
rank
in
whichever
army
they
chose
to
join
. Those
who
trained
at
West
Point
had
studied
engineering
and
historical
military
tactics
. The
Union
army
purposely
recruited
skilled
tradesmen
into the
Corps
of
Engineers
to
help
build
bridges
,
buildings
,
boats
, and
fortifications
.
Plans
from
both
sides
for
fortifications
and
detailed
maps
and
drawings
have
survived
.
Much
of the
military
strategy
targeted
railroads
and
rivers
.
