Diary of 2nd Sergeant Richard R. Hancock, Saturday, July 5, 1862

Colonel Barteau left Fulton with the expectation of going on to Iuka, but the aid that he expected not coming up, and not being willing to venture an attack with but little over two hundred, he turned, came back by the way of Marietta and bivouacked some four miles south on the Fulton road.
