Night march through North Carolina pine forest
A first hand narrative describes a night march with six mules and a single rein guiding the team, muleirate taunts, and whip lashes. Fires in resin pits cast eerie light as foragers and bummers raid, leaving destruction. The army moves toward Fayetteville, crossing nine miles by plank road in moonlight after corduroying twelve miles.
