Civil War
TENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
What few old men and boys were remaining at home fled before us, and not even a small force could be collected to attempt a check to our progress until Wheeler and his cavalry met us at Sandersville, and tried to stop us, but his force was as chaff before the whirlwind. Nothing checked us until we arrived at this point, four miles from Savannah. And now if our friends will take their charts and follow me they may know where we have been wandering since we ' weighed anchor, ' and, destroying our own ' cracker line, ' launched out on one of the most bold and daring expeditions ever undertaken, and which has been attended with the most signal success.
