We moved about two
hundred yards and encamped on the bank of the Tombigbee. Our wagons were
brought out to us, loaded with corn, provisions and cooking vessels. Our tents
were left at the railroad. Our wagons had not been with us,
except two nights at Booneville, since they left us at Jacinto (May 5th).
Fulton, the county
seat of Itawamba County, was about one mile from our camp, on the east side of
the Tombigbeę, and about twenty-one miles from Marietta.
