Wooten Sergeant Sergeant ==================== http://battleofchampionhill.org/pmarch.htm Pemberton's March from Vicksburg to Champion Hill Lt. General John C. Pemberton described his preparation for the battle at Champion Hill in the following excerpts from his Official Reports, The War of the Rebellion: A Compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies, by Robert N. Scott, Major, Third Art., and Bvt. Lieut. Col.. War Department, August 23, 1880. "I think it due to myself, in bringing this portion of my report to a conclusion, to state emphatically that the advance movement of the army from Edwards Depot on the afternoon of May 15 was made against my judgment, in opposition to my previously expressed intentions, and to the subversion of my matured plans. In one contingency alone I had determined to move toward Jackson; the safety of Vicksburg was of paramount importance; under no circumstances could I abandon my communications with it." General John C. Pemberton ================= Dr. John Stith Pemberton, born July 8, 1831 in Knoxville, Georgia and died August 16, 1888 in Atlanta, developed the original formula for Coca-Cola syrup. Dr. Pemberton was a druggist in Columbus, Georgia, married Miss Clifford Lewis in 1853, fought as a Captain under the leadership of General Joe Wheeler in the War Between the States, and later moved to Atlanta where he operated his pharmacy and chemical company. Around 1866 he concocted the Coca-Cola formula which is still kept secret. Due to failing health and financial circumstances, he sold his formula for $1,750 in 1887.
