McNairy moved his
battalion from Camp Schuyler, about thirty miles north, to Huntsville, the
county seat of Scott County. This was the day of the noted “Big August"
freshet. It rained so much that our wagon train did not get to Huntsville until
next day. We took shelter in the court-house.
Companies A and D
were detached on the 25th und sent back to Camp Schuyler.
