Re: BUMMERS Registration Open!

Thanks to everyone who has registered so far. The response has been very brisk and we truly appreciate it. After the initial registration dies down a bit, we will begin publishing the "Registered List" on the Bummers web site to keep everyone up-to-date as to how the foraging parties and companies are coming together.

More information about preservation efforts will be put out early next week.

We will announce "Bummers Buys" as they come on-line.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Re: BUMMERS Registration Open!

Warren,

a few Rebs have purchased torches already. It's a fund raiser, so it's open to all. I'm sure Rebs can use them in the dark. Creativity is in the air! :D

News of late on General Sherman's US troop movements.

The position of affairs in Georgia.

Richmond Daily Dispatch
August 30, 1864

The latest advices from Georgia show that Sherman 's situation is becoming hourly more perilous. No army, in the history of this war, has occupied so dangerous a position. The hope of succor from the diversion made by Smith has been blasted by the diversion made by Forrest on Memphis, which has sent Smith at a double-quick back to that city, pursued and harassed by that portion of Forrest's cavalry which was in his front. The most important intelligence we can now look for must come from Wheeler. It is not so important that he should do so much damage to the roads in Sherman 's rear as it is that he should remain on them, giving them a tapping every day. Two weeks (if he can stay so long) will settle the question of the enemy's remaining on this side of the Chattahoochee, and then the question as to whether his army will ever get home again becomes open to discussion. Our scouts report that some portions of Sherman 's forces are already reduced to green corn for rations, and we know that the country from Atlanta to Dalton, on the Georgia State road, has been devastated for four miles each side by the enemy gathering provisions. As far as we can hear from Wheeler he is doing his work well. He has not wasted his men in assaults on the fortified bridges over the Etowah and other streams between Atlanta and Dalton, but has thoroughly destroyed the road between these bridges, which he could do with impunity, as the Yankees remain in their forts at the bridges from fright and allow him to tear up the road within a few hundred yards of them unmolested. The road between the cities named has been pretty well used up, and now we hear of our forces destroying that between Dalton and Nashville. So timid have the Yankees in their forts been, that much of their cattle has been driven off almost from under their guns.

The possession of Atlanta may now be said to be reduced to a cavalry fight about the lines of communication, and Sherman so recognizes it. The recognition, however, comes a little too late. The disaster to Stoneman's raid deprived him of the best part of his cavalry, and now that the time has come for its use, he has only Kilpatrick to rely on to catch Wheeler. This general was started out on that mission directly it was known that Wheeler had left, but, finding pursuit useless, turned his attention to destroying the West Point and Macon lines of railroad running out from Atlanta. While at Jonesboro', on the Macon road, he fell into the hands of both Confederate infantry and cavalry, got thrashed, and made his way back to Sherman after losing heavily.

Sherman will have now to prepare for recrossing the Chattahoochee, and will no doubt accomplish it with little risk, as he has the ground between the river and Atlanta closely covered with line after line of fortifications. It is after he is across that the race commences.
