Lebanon, Ky., April 10th, 1863.
We left Bardstown on
April second and marched to this place, twenty-eight miles, in two days. How
long we may remain here I cannot even conjecture. Kentucky is like a seething
volcano, ready to burst into flames at any moment; nothing but the
concentration of a large force can prevent an uprising. I think the presence of
so many Michigan boys may have a soothing effect.
