Streight's Raid (19 April – 3 May 1863) took place in northern Alabama during the American Civil War. It was led by Union Army Col. Abel Streight and opposed by Confederate Brig. Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest. Streight's goal was to destroy parts of the Western and Atlantic Railroad, which was supplying the Confederate Army of Tennessee. The raid was poorly supplied and planned, and ended with the defeat of Streight and his 1,700 men at Cedar Bluff, Alabama, by Forrest who bluffed his opponent into surrendering to his 500 men. Streight was additionally hindered by locals throughout his march, while pursued by Forrest, who had the advantage of home territory and the sympathy and aid of the local populace, most famously Emma Sansom.

  • Рейд Стрейта (англ. Streight's Raid) — кавалерийский рейд федерального отряда под командованием полковника Абеля Стрейта на территории штата Алабама в апреле — мае 1863 года во время гражданской войны в США. Стрейту было поручено разрушить железные дороги, по которым снабжалась конфедеративная Теннессийская армия. Против Стрейта действовала кавалерия генерала Натана Бедфорда Форреста, который силами отряда в 500 человек принудил Стрейта к капитуляции при Седар-Блафф. Форрест действовал на хорошо знакомой ему местности и пользовался поддержкой местного населения, в частности, ему помогла местная жительница . (ru)
