Raymond MS007

supportedunresolved Gregg says he could learn nothing of the enemy's strength, inferred from Pemberton's dispatch and his scouts' report of 2,500 or 3,000 that the force was a brigade on a marauding excursion, and learned from Beaumont during the fight of the immense force in the woods.

Gregg's own account of his information; no inspected message log.

supportedunresolved Gregg says that on reaching Raymond he found none of Adams' cavalry except a sergeant and 4 men; a squadron of 50 men reported during the night and was set to picket the roads toward his line of retreat; and that the smallness of the mounted force, Captain Hall's State company having but 40 men, mostly local youths, kept him from learning the enemy's strength. He says one of Bledsoe's guns burst. Greene says the only Union cavalry regiment present accompanied McPherson.

Equipment and mounted-force statements from an interested report and a history; no inspected return.

supportedunresolved NPS says Pemberton ordered Gregg out to Raymond to intercept the approaching Union troops; Greene says the brigade was to cover Jackson and fall on Grant's flank if he attacked Edwards' Station. Gregg says that, believing the force a single brigade, he made his dispositions to capture it.

Stated orders and intent from a summary, a history and the defender's report; no inspected order text.

supportedpost_outcome The frozen and live results read Union victory. NPS says Gregg's men left the field after holding up a much superior force for a day; Greene says they abandoned the field and retreated rapidly toward Jackson; Gregg says the withdrawal was effected in admirable order.

Retain the original result and engagement interval; later movements and campaign contribution are different measures. No new probabilities or individual causal credit. NPS's 'held up for a day' is campaign context.

disputedpost_outcome The frozen casualty text reads 1,011 total (US 442; CS 569); the live field reads 956 total (US 442; CS 514;). Greene gives Logan's loss as 432 plus two in Crocker's division, and Gregg's as 73 killed, 229 wounded and 204 missing, 505 in all; Gregg's report prints 201 missing. Gregg says escaped prisoners put the Union loss at 150 killed and 400 wounded.

Original casualty returns were not inspected; preserve totals, categories, cutoffs and differences. No canonical reconciliation or casualty-based opening count; related actions must not be added without resolving population overlap. Three Confederate totals (569, 514, 505) and two missing counts (204, 201) differ. Component sums differ from printed totals (computations here): Greene's 73 + 229 + 204 is 506 against his 505, and Gregg's 73 + 229 + 201 is 503.

supportedunresolved Gregg says the Fiftieth, Tenth and Thirtieth Tennessee did not make their ordered attack, which let the enemy reach the Third Tennessee's flank, and that he ordered the withdrawal on Adams' report of a large supporting force. NPS says some Union troops broke and Logan rallied a force to hold the line.

Subordinate execution from an interested report and a summary; the frozen commanders McPherson and Gregg do not receive automatic sole credit.

No inspected return establishes matched personnel at a common opening boundary. The frozen side-specific numerical strength bounds are blank (missing_numeric_strength). No figure in this pass is adopted as a simultaneous opening force.

disputedunresolved The frozen force field names the XVII Army Corps and Gregg's Task Force (equivalent to a brigade) without counts; the live field reads zero. Greene says Gregg's brigade, with State troops, numbered something over 3,000; Gregg reports 2,500 engaged and says the enemy had three divisions in the field, Logan's being chiefly engaged. NPS calls the Union force overwhelming.

Brigade, engaged and opponent scopes differ; none is adopted as matched opening strength. Live zeros are not measured absence.

supportedunresolved Greene says the Confederates held the hills beyond a small stream about two miles from Raymond, with batteries placed to enfilade the road and bridge. NPS says Gregg decided to dispute the crossing of Fourteen Mile Creek. Gregg says a single field dotted with timber separated the two roads.

Ground and the defender's chosen dispositions are combined while boundaries are unset; no map verification.
