The Memoirs of General Ulysses S. Grant
Part 5.

CHAPTER LIX
31/41

Wade Hampton was there also trying to raise cavalry sufficient to destroy Sherman's army.

If he ever raised a force it was too late to do the work expected of it.

Hardee's whole force probably numbered less than ten thousand men.
From Millen to Savannah the country is sandy and poor, and affords but very little forage other than rice straw, which was then growing.

This answered a very good purpose as forage, and the rice grain was an addition to the soldier's rations.

No further resistance worthy of note was met with, until within a few miles of Savannah.
