Text Appearing Before Image:
SIGNALING FROM FORT McALLISTER, GEORGIA—THE END OF THE MARCH TO THE SEA General Sherman's flag message with Hazen's soldierly answer upon their arrival at Savannah, December 13, 1864, has become historic. Shermans message was an order for Hazens Division of the Fifteenth Army Corps to make an assault upon the fort. Hazen's terse answer was: I am ready and will assault at once.The fort was carried at the first rush. A flag station was immediately established on the parapet. It wigwagged to Dahlgren's expectant fleet the news that Sherman had completed the famous march to the sea with his army in excellent condition. Only a week later General Hardee evacuated Savannah with his troops. I 334 )
Text Appearing After Image:
. COPYRIGHT, 1911, PATRIOT PUB. CO. HOW SHERMAN WAS WELCOMED UPON HIS ARRIVAL AT THE SEA This photograph shows a party of Admiral John A. Dahlgrens signal-men onboard ship receiving a message from the Georgia shore. The two flagmen are standing at attention, ready to send Dahlgren's answering message, and the officer with the telescope is prepared to read the signals from the shore. Thus Shermans message from the parapet of Fort McAllister was read. Commander C. P. R. Rodgers and Admiral Dupont had been prompt to recognize the value of the Army Signal Corps system and to introduce it in the navy.This concert between the Norths gigantic armies on shore and her powerful South Atlantic fleet was bound to crush the Confederacy sooner or later.- Without food for her decimated armies she could not last.

Note About Images: Possibly the USRC Nemaha (ship, 1862). Other candidates USS Galena (ship, 1880) and USS Wabash (ship, 1861)[1]
