Diary of 2nd Sergeant Richard R. Hancock, Friday, July 18, 1862

McKnight's Company was sent to Marietta to picket that place for some days. Colonel Barteau, with four companies of his regiment, left camps at Bay Springs to join General Armstrong in an expedition into North Alabama. Will speak more of this scout when Colonel Barteau returns.
