Reveille at 3 and off at 5. Marched near Tazewell and fed
and got coffee. Saddled and marched half a mile and halted in shade most of the
afternoon by order of Burnside, coming up with Infantry. Rode through town and
got supper. Camped in a secesh widow's orchard, two sons in rebel army, Jones.
Found plenty of peaches, apples and oats. Rest of the regiment remained saddled
in the streets. Moved on at sundown, Burnside having arrived. Marched to within
three miles of the Gap and camped on Powell river.
