i would guess then that you favor WAR CRIMES?

"Wheeler's command drove the Federal advance from SandersvilIe after a brief skirmish and settled in the town for the night. This rare, if temporary, success inspired a Sandersville lynch mob to murder some of Wheeler's captives. A mob appeared near midnight —probably a band of Confederate troops—pushed aside the frightened guards, carried the Federal prisoners into a nearby field, and shot them down."

--"Sherman's March, p. 75, by Burke Davis

There's a lot more. I'll try to get to it again. I posted a lot of data from this book once before.

WP has a habit of posting stuff from books written themselves, from secondary sources.

one of these days he will surprise me and actually do some ORIGIONAL research, rather than posting re-hashes of other people's work.

one of the MAJOR problems with historybooks is that the author "picks & chooses" the data that HELPS his thesis (or in the case of the REVISIONISTS these days, simply invents data!)-the origional records, on the other hand, do NOT lie.

i challenge EITHER of you to go LOOK at the O.R. and find even ONE such report!
