The Memoirs of General W. T. Sherman
Vol. I.
Part 2

CHAPTER XV
74/98

Orders were given to cease firing.

Captain Dayton was sent to the fort where the first flag was raised.

Some shots were fired and some men hurt after this.

The first rebel officer we encountered was Colonel or General Garland, commanding brigade, who was ordered to put his men in line and stack arms, which was done.
I was directed to pass along the line to the right, and cause the prisoners to stack arms and form our men in line, just outside the work.

This I did till I reached Deshler's brigade, on our extreme right, or nearly so, and who was opposed to the right of Steele's force.
