This morning Dick
leads the Seventh forth again, heading for West Tennessee. Soon we are winding
through the Mississippi forests. The weather is exceedingly warm, and oh! how
dusty the roads. None can form any clear conception of the beauty of a ride in
July save those who have witnessed in this month a regiment of cavalry or
mounted infantry dashing along a Mississippi or Tennessee highway. Arriving at
Hamburg, Tennessee river, about dark, we go into camp for the night.
