Supplying Hood in late 1864

Hello,

I am working on a long term project trying to decipher John Bell Hood's supply line through Mississippi for his Tennessee Campaign. I know supplies came out of Alabama and were changed to the Mobile & Ohio Railroad to be sent up to Corinth where they were changed again to the Memphis & Charleston RR back into Alabama.

Are there any sources for the supply depots like Meridian, Jackson, etc. that might have supplied Hood? I know that Ben Grierson took down the Mobile & Ohio RR in December 1864 with several raids and captured a lot of supplies as well as burned even more.

Any help is appreciated.
