“We are going to shake up the bones of the rebellion.”–Army Life of an Illinois Soldier, Charles Wright Wills.

November 6, 1864.

Rain all day. We are preparing for a huge campaign, and are all right glad of it; 50 days’ rations is the word. Don’t know when we start. Montgomery or Augusta are probably the points. We are going to shake up the bones of the rebellion. I would not miss this campaign for anything.
