Jture of sixty-four men, the rear guard of the 20th corps, if my memory serves me right. It was a company of the 107 New York, in command of Capt. Richardson. Opr company consisted of about sixteen (16) men, and here was the rub, with sixty-four men on our hands, and the nearest troops that we knew anything about was \ at Macon. Fortunately, we struck a lot r of school boys at Rutledge, the school house having been burned that day, we armed the boys with the guns captured from the yanks and turned the prisoners over to them to be taken to Macon. I: j would like very much to know whether the boys ever arrived at Macon with the prisoners? No doubt some of them are still living and could give the desired information.This imperfect sketch is written by one of the few men who followed Sherman from Atlanta to Bentonville, N. C.W. E.
