The battalion met at
Chestnut Mound again to drill, after which we scattered out to hunt lodging
places for the night, for our company still had neither tents nor cooking
vessels. Only about ninety-five of our battalion had returned to camps to date.
In place of going on to Carthage, as we expected, Colonel Statham, being in
front, turning to the left, moved his brigade down and went into camp on the
east bank of Caney Fork River near Trousdale's Ferry.
