Diary of Luman Harris Tenney: Thursday, November 13, 1862

Felt most sick. Had a slight chill — I suppose — afterwards feverish. Moved camp late in the afternoon on account of a report by an old man who came in with two conscript deserters to join our army, that a force of cavalry of 9,000 were moving north, then at Cane Hill. Before midnight orders came to join our commands. Got breakfast and saddled at 2 A. M.
