Diary of Private Richard R. Hancock: Sunday, November 24, 1861

The clothing for our battalion having been received and distributed, Colonel McNairy again took up the line of march, and, passing through Wartburg, encamped for the night some fourteen miles from that place on the Jamestown road.

The main portion of our brigade camped within eight miles of Albany, where Zollicoffer awaited their arrival, while Colonel Stanton pressed on in the direction of Mill Springs, Kentucky, with two regiments and McClellan's Battalion of cavalry.
