Tom. I've seen nothing that showed the 37th MS in GA, but I do know many of the GA Reg.s went out that way and I do believe I saw something about the 2nd TX or 40th MS in GA before returning to Camp Rogers and area of MS. I'll have to double check on that. I would guess that it was possible that if supplies traveled by train, the train would have carried guards back and forth for protection. It would not be inconceivable to think that some of the 37th could have performed such a duty. A train at 20 mph is only about 12hrs travel from Dalton GA to MS, so your only looking at about 2 days travel ...who knows for sure. It they walked, then you have to ask why. We'll just have to keep digging for information. From what I've seen so far, I'm betting the location of Camp Rogers was on or very near the RR. Maybe it was mostly a check station or supply depot. Waterford well could be the location, but if your fellow went to a hospital, well need to determine when he was injured and the hospital he was sent, then if any transfers were made. He very well could have been sent rearward down the tracks or to a nearby town by wagon. I found another map that might be helpful. Go to: http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/gmdhtml/cwmhtml/cwmapTitles01.html and look for the map below.
