Diary of Corporal Alexander G. Downing: Wednesday, November 2, 1864

We started early this morning and after marching fifteen miles went into bivouac near Van Wert, Georgia. It rained all day, and the roads became so slippery that it made hard marching. Some of the men gave out and had to be hauled.
