Diary of Private Louis Leon: October 9, 1863

Left camp at 4 this evening and halted on the morning of the 10th at 1 o'clock, when we caught up with our brigade. Marched twelve miles on very muddy road, and fell into several holes. We left again very, early this morning and marched twenty miles. We waded the Rapidan to-day at Liberty Mills.
