Diary of Private Richard R. Hancock: Friday, September 27, 1861

We remained at Barboursville. Col. Rains ordered his demi-brigade to cook three days' rations and be ready to move early the next morning.

We were now in twenty miles of the enemy's camp at Laurel Bridge. Col. Brown, who lived near London, was in command of the Home Guards at that camp. Col. Wolford, with a part of his regiment, was also in that vicinity.
