The Daily Dispatch: March 28, 1864., [Electronic resource], Leaving children in the road. (search)
Leaving children in the road. --A letter from the route of Sherman's retreating column says: All the negroes that would go with them were carried off, and a large number who expressed a wish to remain were taken by force. Mr. E. assures me that not less than thirty children were left along the wayside in the woods, about twenty miles from Meridian, as the Federals were retreating.
