We struck our tents early this morning and at sunup marched
down to the landing on the Missouri river, where under the quartermaster a
large detail of men worked nearly all day loading our commissariat on board the
boats. At sundown our regiment, with a part of the Second Illinois Cavalry,
started up the river.
