Diary of 2nd Sergeant Richard R. Hancock: Wednesday, May 28, 1862

About noon McCulloch's Battalion moved out toward Burnsville, and just before sundown ours followed. We found McCulloch within two miles of Burnsville. The Federals had been in town, but had fallen back. We dismounted, hitched our horses, and remained there all night.
