Half after six
o'clock, P. M., the writer and forty-four others of our battalion set out from
Camp West, going in the direction of Livingston, Tennessee, to meet and guard
back a wagon train which had been sent down the Cumberland to meet a steamer
from Nashville with supplies for Zollicoffer's command.
As the river was low
our wagons had to go as low as Carthage on this trip to meet the boats.
After a ride of
about twenty-two miles, we met a part of the wagons about two A. M. on [Sunday
the 29th.]
