All seemed quiet in
the morning & we started on our way. 12 noon we passed the Noted Island No
10 viewed as we passed the squads of soldiers & their trusty cannon
commanding the Mississippi each way. at dark we landed at Mitchaels wood yard
and tied up for the night. I being officer of the Guard had the pleasure of
placing out the first picket guard of our Regiment in an enemys country
Tennisee & releeving it & passing around to see that all was wright
