SC PRINT #98, 99 "When General Brannan made his daring and successful dash upon the
railroad between Pocotaligo and Coosawhatchie the terror both in
Savannah and Charleston was very great. Despite the fact that General
Beauregard with thirty thousand troops was stationed midway between the
cities a restless desire for fight took possession of thousands, and for
three days the roads to the interior were crowded with as miscellaneous
a group as that which marched into Noah's ark. Lieutenant Kirby, of the
Forty-seventh Massachusetts Regiment, being then a prisoner, had an
excellent opportunity of sketching this motley stream of humanity. But
our sketch renders all further description unnecessary." -- p. 302 of an unidentified source.
