Diary of Private Richard R. Hancock: Saturday, September 14, 1861

 In the saddle early, we again took up the line of march eastward. Passing through Wartburg, we soon arrived at Camp Schuyler, where we found the other two companies, A and D. They had been sent to this camp from Huntsville, the 25th of August. These two companies, having been previously notified to be ready to move, now fell in, and the whole battalion continued moving eastward.

We camped for the night in Anderson County, within twenty-two miles of Knoxville.
