Diary of 2nd Lieutenant Luman Harris Tenney: September 29, 1863

Sent out forage detail and provision detail. Train came up and got things out. Issued rations to finish the month. Plenty of everything save hard bread. Read some in “Harold.” At 3 P. M. ordered out, scouting party reporting that enemy in column was moving this way. Was left temporarily in command of Battalion — three companies — in line on side hill two miles from camp; relieved by Lt. Bills. Remained saddled at night.
