July 14, 1864---In retreat, but no pursuit

JULY 14, 1864:                    

Badly battered, and having lost 1,350 of his 9,000 men, Nathan Bedford Forrest retreats from the strong Union position at Harrisburg MS. As soon as Forrest’s column vanishes over the horizon, the Union force returns to Memphis, Tennessee. No one pursues Forrest. Just as this is happening, far away Jubal Early is crossing the Potomac into Confederate-held Virginia.  No one pursues Early.
