Arose at 4 A. M. First Battalion off at 5 to join Doubleday,
35 miles. Loaded provisions from citizens to mule teams. Infantry, as usual got
the start, artillery next. Had a pleasant march. Long time crossing the
Lightning Creek. Narrow roads for the wagons through the woods. Grazed often.
Encamped with Ninth Wisconsin on the banks of Cherry Creek. Artillery crossed
and camped. Issued beef. Rained in the afternoon. Slept out in the open air.
Several officers and men tight. McMurray.
