Diary of Private Daniel L. Ambrose: Thursday, May 12, 1864

This morning another dispatch informs us of the arrival of Colonel Rowett with his part of the regiment at Prospect, Tennessee, on the railroad, ten miles from Athens, Alabama. During the day, squads of rebels make their appearance on the opposite bank of Elk River, who fire a few random shots into our pickets. No damage done.
