2nd Ohio in advance. Rations came and delayed us a little.
Drew none. Breakfasted at Winchester. Our brigade ordered to the front and to
act independently. Moved over a rough road by Jacktown and Locust Grove. A high
mountain to climb. Stout work. Morgan but a few miles in advance. Bridge over the
Scioto burned. Bridge and mill at Jasper burned. Bivouacked two hours. Could
not ford the stream. Built a temporary bridge. One Union man shot because he
would not take the oath. Put him in skiff.
