Diary of 5th Sergeant Alexander G. Downing: Sunday, January 29, 1865

Our company left camp in the old fort at 10 o'clock and reached the brigade headquarters at Garden Corners about noon. Our entire division then moved forward about ten miles and went into bivouac for the night. The roads were fine for marching, having had no rain for four days.
