Diary of Alexander G. Downing: Sunday, October 25, 1863

I went out on picket today. We keep a strong picket guard along the entire line. The rebels' cavalry are not as bold as they were two or three weeks ago, for they know that we are becoming more thoroughly entrenched every day; besides this, they have been pretty well driven out of this section.
