Diary of Private Adam S. Johnston, September 19, 1862

Left Deaumont Knob camp and arrived at Bell's Knob the same day, and encamped for the night, making a march of 5 miles. Was rallied and fell into line of battle, and had a skirmish with the enemy, losing four men on our side, but we succeeded in routing them the same day.
