介绍（中）	拉塞尔拍摄了几张照片，展示了联邦军队发现的南部邦联摧毁联邦铁路的简单但有效的方法。士兵们用领带作为燃料，将铁轨堆放成X字形，并将其焚烧，直到它们扭曲而无法使用。联邦工程师采用了类似的策略来摧毁南方铁路，这张照片被不准确地发布为"谢尔曼的项链"。标题指的是联邦将军威廉·特库姆塞·谢尔曼，他在1864年7月18日的亚特兰大战役中，向他的部队发出了以下明确命令："军官们应该得到指示，简单弯曲的铁条可以再次使用，但如果在红热的时候扭得不成直线，就不能再使用了。把铁条堆成篝火形状，把铁条放在对面，当中间红热时，让两端的人扭铁条，使其表面呈螺旋状。"
介绍（英）	Russell made several photographs of the discovery by the Union army of the simple but effective method developed by the Confederates to destroy Union railroad track. Using the ties as fuel, the soldiers stacked the iron rails in X formations and burned them until they could be twisted and made unusable. Federal engineers employed similar tactics to destroy Southern railroads, and this photograph has been published, inaccurately, as “Sherman’s Neckties.” The title refers to Union General William Tecumseh Sherman, who during the Atlanta Campaign on July 18, 1864, gave the following explicit order to his corps: “Officers should be instructed that bars simply bent may be used again, but if when red hot they are twisted out of line they cannot be used again. Pile the ties into shape for a bonfire, put the rails across and when red hot in the middle, let a man at each end twist the bar so that its surface becomes spiral.”
