Boynton is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book addresses the criticism directed at General George H. Thomas regarding his perceived delays during the Battle of Nashville in the American Civil War. It centers on analyzing the circumstances surrounding Thomas's decisions, the logistical challenges he faced, and the pivotal role of cavalry operations led by General James H. Wilson. In the book, Boynton methodically defends General Thomas against the claims of indecisiveness, arguing that his cautious approach was crucial for the success of the campaign. He details the preparations Thomas undertook to effectively confront Confederate General Hood's forces, emphasizing the importance of remounting the cavalry and organizing the troops before engaging in battle. The narrative illustrates the culmination of Thomas's efforts, leading to a decisive victory over Hood's army, which experienced substantial losses. Boynton further highlights the impressive cavalry maneuvers executed under Wilson's command, asserting that this cavalry campaign stands as a remarkable achievement in military history. The book ultimately champions Thomas's leadership and strategic acumen in overcoming adversity during a critical moment in the Civil War.
