Left or was taken
from Antioch church to Perryville to a hospital fitted up for our reception.
The first time away from my regiment and company from the time I left for the
seat of war, or the first roll call missed, or stacking of arms, or march
missed for over a year; and was well cared for in this hospital by the surgeon
in charge of us wounded Union soldiers. We were well supplied with food
calculated to suit our weak and delicate appetites, from the Union citizens,
women and men, of Boyle county, and got along as well as could be expected for
the time of our stay in this hospital, remaining eight days in it. Making a
march of 6 miles.
