Ben and I went on
home by the way of New Middleton and Alexandria, taking the wagon on home with
us. We were about the last of the company getting home. It had been seven
months since we first started into service from Auburn, Cannon County,
Tennessee.
Crittenden moved on
from Monticello, Kentucky, by the way of Livingston, Tennessee, to Gainesboro,
There some of the
regiments that were near home were disbanded for a few days, while a few tents
and cooking vessels were procured for the rest. Captain Parrish's Company and
J. R. Dougherty were furloughed for twenty days.
We remained at home
until [Sunday February 2nd.]
