Corraling our horses
and mules and leaving them in charge of the non-veterans, the regiment on the
8th of January, with drums beating, colors flying, and hopes beating high,
march from Pulaski, Tennessee. Arriving at Columbia we take the cars for
Nashville, where we remain in the Soldier's Home until transportation is
furnished. Transportation being furnished we proceed by rail to Louisville,
Kentucky, where we remain until we receive our pay and bounty-after which we
cross the Ohio and take the cars for Springfield, Illinois.
