Title	Pages 101-102, Civil War Diary of Confederate soldier George D. Wise
Description	The pontoon was laid over the Tenn. [River] Dec. 26th, & the 27th our division crossed. I confess that we all breathed freeer on the south than the north bank. Christmas morning we crossed Goose Creek. The men have to wade it. It was very cold, & the cold water that day was by no means agreeable. Many went through that (following page) march barefooted & half naked. Their suffering must have been intense; the weather was very cold, & a part of the time a cold rain fell upon us & I suffered greatly, though well clad. After what I have told as having occurred, it will not surprise anyone to add that the men were demoralized & broken in spirit.
