Summary: "Was General Thomas Slow at Nashville?" by Henry V. 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.
