Additional Description: “ … we began an apparently circuitous march, not advancing faster than a child ten years old could walk, and stopping frequently …. I sat down on the stump of a tree and was so benumbed with cold that I wanted to go to sleep. Had I been passed unnoticed I should have frozen to death …. But as good luck always attended me, Sergeant Madden came and, rousing me up, made me walk about. We then began to march again, just in the old slow way.” John Greenwood, Fifer, 15th Massachusetts Regiment
