The Genesis of the fight at Honey Hill.

General Sherman's column was on its ‘march to the sea,’ and on November 11th he telegraphed General Halleck: ‘I would like to have Foster break the Charleston and Savannah Railroad about Pocataligo about the 1st of December.’

Later in the month the following detail was made, which was ready on the 28th of November, and some troops did embark on that day.
