Word came early to march. Sergt. Co. K and I went out a mile
and got breakfast. Three sons in the rebel army. Two good horses, but papers
from Gen. Salomon guarded them. Sergeant had got them to cook a few chickens,
on which we lunched. At first in the rear, then hurried on and got in the advance.
Passed through Nevada about noon. Got some warm bread and butter. Encamped
three miles out, where water was abundant but poor. Went out and helped kill
and butcher beef. Borrowed some coffee till the wagon came up. Slept out till
commenced raining. Got under wagon.
