Stuart took the river-road the movement commencing at 11 o'clock a.m.. After crossing the low ground covered with water, you were called back with Steele, as Stuart had driven out the enemy's rifle-trench pickets, this giving more and feasible room for moving. Stuart was pushed forward, and by dark he and Steele were well up to their expected positions.
It so happened that General Davis's route into Savannah followed what was known as the "River-road," and he had to make constant use of his pontoon-train the head of his column reaching some deep, impassable creek before the rear was fairly over another.
