Civil War
TENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
We crossed the Oconee river here and marched towards Sandersville, which we reached simultaneously with the 20th army corps on the morning of November 26th. It was here that we first encountered Wheeler's cavalry; but the rebels never left a town quicker than they and most of the inhabitants fled, leaving all their property to the mercy of 'Yankee raiders. ' The town was pretty thoroughly cleaned out, and our haversacks thereby well stocked. It was but a few minutes after our arrival before some of the public buildings took fire, and our troops did not seem to make any efforts to extinguish the flames.
