Diary of 2nd Lieutenant Luman Harris Tenney: January 21, 1864

It is astonishing how much the people of E. Tenn. have put up with, and how ignorant and coarse they are. Have seen but one young lady in Tenn. whose clothes have fitted her and who has acted the lady. 27 miles from Chattanooga. Great time at dinner at one Shoemakers — rebel. Guard there — impudent. Got into Chattanooga at 4 P. M. Good time with the Co. Rough night. Routed twice.
