JANUARY 22, 1865:
Robert Cruikshank
U.S.A., a soldier at the headquarters of the 1st Brigade, 1st Division, 20th A.
C., stationed in Savannah, Georgia, writes a letter home to his wife Mary. Its
brevity is no doubt reflective of his mood, as his force has expected to be marching
through South Carolina but has been bogged down by storms and mud:
“The rain poured down
all day and all looked gloomy enough.”
