Had Bragg followed up with the spirit which characterized its beginning the successful attack by Hardee on our right wing and there seems no reason why he should not have done so the army of Rosecrans still might have got back to Nashville, but it would have been depleted and demoralized to such a degree as to unfit it for offensive operations for a long time afterward.
