A Civil War Letter making reference to John and Elias Yates together
Date: May 17, 1864; Author: John Yates; Addressee: Elizabeth Roberson Yates; Location: Resaca, GA;
Description/Summary: John is writing this letter on Tuesday May 17, 1864 from Resaca, Gordon Co., GA; this is about 32 miles south of Ringgold, GA, the site of his previous letter. [Passing through the Ringgold Pass and the fight for Resaca clearly is making progress towards the 1864 objective of taking Atlanta and will be hard fought each step.] John says he is in good health but he is only able to write this letter through the providence of God; it has been a hard fight. He says the fight has required the Rebels to evacuate their strongholds, retreat back towards Atlanta leaving their dead where they fell; some of these dead are laying within his camp as he writes this letter. He says they started the current fight on May 7, 1864 and did not stop until May 16, 1864. His group has not lost any men since leaving Buzzard Roost Gap where they had 6-8 wounded and 2 killed from their group. They have had 2 wounded including their Captain.
He says they have seen some hard fighting over the last ten days having driven the Rebels some 25 miles into TN and they are still in Pursuit. They have stopped currently where they are so they can complete crossing the river on a bridge which is still burning from the Rebels retreat actions. He says he has not had a letter from her in over three weeks so he is looking for one now any day. It is raining just now John says and he has his tent all stretched out for use. He and Elias Yates [His brother and/or cousin 1829-1893] are under the tent both writing home to their families. Elias has returned from home but his leg is crooked and he can't march. [Consolidated Service Records confirm he was injured in the Battle of Chickamauga.] Daniel Yates is in Chattanooga at the moment and he saw Bill [Unknown] yesterday; Harve Roberson and all the boys of the 81st Indiana have all gotten through safely so far.
He asked that she tell Uncle Silas Yates that John Yates [John C.B. Yates 1836-1910] has come out to the battlefield with the 58th Indiana and they are assigned to the Pioneer Brigade. He indicates he doesn't have much more to add except perhaps a little about the last battle; basically he is saying the best thing to say about it is suffice it to say he never wants to see the like again if I can be so.
Elias Yates served in the 100th Illinois Infantry
