Rattlesnake Supper During a Long 1865 March to Montgomery

A Belvidere correspondent recalls the 16th corps march from Fort Blakely to Montgomery in early April 1865. The trek traversed a pine wilderness of Alabama with hot roads and sore feet, where wagons joked of reaching Selma or better fare, and later shifted to more prosperous, less partisan settlements as Union loyalists displayed the flag and a patriotic spirit.
