middle tennessee campaign, it rained and rained and rained throughout that from nashville towards chattanooga. a similar blight has befallen the federal army at this time as well. one fellow in massachusetts recalled, the weather was stormy and the water was high, flooding the roads and country for miles. one storm only seemed to give way to another. that meets the roads exceedingly sloppy, slovenly, and very difficult to move the wagons one of the other things that impeded the movement of the wagons through the area of the ferry was the fact that the confederates had taken to planting what they called infernal machines, landmines, artillery shells, percussion fuses. that inhibited the movement of the federals through that area. one of the locations the federals had centered about was a depot, a junction point for the right wing. sherman in early january sent word that general howard should be at pocotaligo on the 15th and slocum on the north bank of the savannah river the same day. general howard was on time, as osborne would note. he has a marvelous diary. artillerists tend to write marvelo
