Letter, 1862 Mar. 18, Pocotaligo, S.C., to I.W. Hayne.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/31729982

Acknowledging the Executive Council's prompt attention to his request for African American slave labor--"the resolutions of the Council will no doubt be sufficient to accomplish all that is desirable," and pointing out the military necessity of establishing a connection between the South Carolina Rail Road and the Charleston and Savannah Railroad. This letter was written from Pocotaligo [Beaufort District, now Jasper County, S.C.] soon after Maj. Gen. John C. Pemberton assumed command, on 4 Mar. 1862, of the Department of South Carolina, Georgia, and East Florida, replacing Robert E. Lee in the post. Pemberton served in this capacity until late Sept. 1862.
