Came to Vernon and
camped. I went out and got some fodder and made beds, but did not get to enjoy
it long. Bout 1 o'clock started and came to Duck River, built fires of the
fence on river bank. Our squadron sent on scout eight miles, got back just
after day. Found them swimming the horses and taking the rigging over in a boat
flat. We were then sent on picket. A ford was found and the Brigade crossed over.
Camped one mile from the river. Crossed near Centerville.
