On
reassembling the battalion drew five tents to each company, and put them up at
Black's Shop.
Hearing
that the Federals were about five miles south of Nashville and still advancing
toward Murfreesboro, the battalion moved out about eight miles in the direction
of the former place. Hearing that about one thousand Confederate cavalry were
three miles in advance of us, we turned and went back to camps at Black's Shop.
