Army Life of an Illinois Soldier, Charles Wright Wills, (8th Illinois Infantry)
    

“Got all the men would carry..,”–Army Life of an Illinois Soldier, Charles Wright Wills.

Cedar Town, Ga., November 1, 1864.

Abomination of abominations, train guard to-day. It is the most disagreeable duty we are subject to on the march. I escaped the afternoon duty by being sent out foraging. Got all the men would carry, and disgusted a rich citizen considerably, also saw a nice, rosy-faced girl, whose teeth and fingernails would spoil a meal for any one of ordinary constitution. One man in our brigade wounded, 40th Illinois, in a little skirmish to-day.
