"Wheelers men were curs. I remember them well from Georgia, they hanged little Simmers, a fouteen year old drummer boy in a Minnesota Regiment. And what they did to the negroes who followed us was inhuman. I suppose it's a brave thing to hang a child and kill unarmed slaves, they never charged Shermans men half so well."

Unnamed Captain of Hazen's Brigade.
