Aroused at 3 A. M. Killed a calf for breakfast. Quite a time
trying to kill a pig. Marched at sunrise. Whole command gone from old camp.
Rear guard. At noon arrived at Kritsville. Stayed till 10 P. M. Marched again at
10 and moved till near morning. Lay down a few minutes by a little fire. Before
daybreak passed the Arkansas line, Elkhorn Tavern, and stopped for a cold lunch
on the old Pea Ridge battle ground. Interesting — trees considerably marred by
bullets. Shot, grape, and shell picked up by different boys as relics of the battle.
