Soldier’s Civil War Diary from August 1854 Aug 6
A Tipton Advertiser letter recounts a Civil War diary entry describing Sherman’s flank movement, pontooning, and river crossing at Atlanta. It covers boilerplate camp life, a sergeant’s fatal injury, heavy fighting near Hope Church, and raids on the Atlanta and West Point line with cavalry actions. It names multiple regiments and officers, notes prisoner captures, and praises Major Root’s charges while detailing hardships and battlefield maneuvering.
