After breakfast and feeding, moved to Lenoir. Stopped two
hours in the shade near the big springs. Several Union men from over the river,
Blount County, anxious for us to cross over. Camped in the woods on a high bank
of river. Many girls out to see us. Several came up and took coffee with the boys,
highly pleased. People all seem to be loyal. Lenoir old rebel. Confiscated
corn, sugar, etc. Splendid crops along the river. Uneducated, homely girls and
women.
