In districts and neighborhoods where the army is unmolested, no destruction of such property should be permitted; but should guerrillas or bushwhackers molest our march, or should the inhabitants burn bridges, obstruct roads, or otherwise manifest local hostility, then army commanders should order and enforce a devastation more or less relentless, according to the measure of such hostility.

In other words if an old lady so much as scowls at you, then burn the bitches house down.

Again Yankees prove inferior to our noble Southern heroes. When crossed by elderly people they should have done what honorable Confederate Colonel Hunley did to old Mr. Potts of McDonald, Tennessee - choke the old Lincolnite to within an inch of his life until his wife forks over all the property you want.
