Hey Bryce, At first I thought you were posing the famous "boxers or briefs" question, then, rereading your post about Sherman, I realized you had characterized the General correctly. When Sherman and his troops came up through South Carolina after departing Savannah, they stopped and rested a few days In Cheraw. To keep the boys busy, he sent them off with torches. Directly across the river was my family's plantation, and it, along with other houses to the North, were put to the torch.
