Diary of 5th Sergeant Alexander G. Downing: Sunday, January 22, 1865

A detail from our regiment was sent out along the road today to help the loaded wagons across the deep mudholes, as they come through from Beaufort. It is reported that the Fourteenth and Twentieth Corps have crossed into South Carolina and are floundering in the mud bottoms of the Savannah river.
