In the diary of Lt. Platter (81st Ohio Inf) on Shermans march mentions arriving at Kingston, Ga., on the 11th of November 1864 waiting to see a Rebel Captain hung for murder.
"the town was full of soldiers waiting to see a Rebel Captain hung who had murdered several soldiers of the 33d Ohio Volunteers - they were found in the woods hung up by the heels with their throats cut."
Any idea who this Rebel Captain might have been?
