Diary of Corporal John W. Dennett, October 16, 1862

First division, and one section of our battery and two sections of Hazlett's Battery, went across the Potomac as far as Kearneysville. We drove the rebels from the river to Charlestown, Va., having several skirmishes, with losses on our side small. In our battery we had one man, Charles Donahoe, slightly wounded, and one horse killed. Stopped at Kearneysville that night, and returned across the river the morning of the 17th, passing through Shepherdstown on the way. Gen. Humphreys commanded the Union forces.
