Title	Pages 103-104, Civil War Diary of Confederate soldier George D. Wise
Description	We were informed last evening of the removal of Genl. Hood from command (good); Genl. Taylor is to command here. Our corps is ordered to Ga., Johnson’s Div started this morning … [Union General William Tecumseh] Sherman with a considerable force marched from Atlanta, & brought up at Savannah. That city fell an easy prey to his cupidity. Not satisfied with his exploits it seems that he proposes to march on (following page) a conquering hero. We hear that he is at Pocotaligo [SC] on the Charleston & Savannah R.R. & that he does not deny that he aims to take Charleston. I don’t know what he aims at, but fear that he has an eye on Branchville. We go, no doubt, to try to checkmate this redoubtable knight errant.
