Civil War
TENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
We found this to be true, but our marches were so regulated that we reached the princible swamps at night and our pioneer force cut the timber out and constructed bridge during the night, so that the next morning we were ready to move on. The
largest of the streams had to be 'pontooned, ' but Sherman had his pontoons and pon-tooners along, as well as all other needful parts of his army, and a few hours sufficed to bridge any stream. At Ebenezer creek the rebels tried to frighten us by shelling us from the river, on which they had some young gunboats, but did not hurt us or hinder our progress at all.
