Diary of Private Edward W. Crippin, Saturday, February 8, 1862

Weather cool & cloudy much rejoicing over the victory gained at Ft. Henry Our success in that section we think decides the fate of Columbus     Rumors are current that fighting is going on in the region of Ft. Henry and Donelson. Nothing definite.
