Awakened by firing over Clinch Mountain. Sent back details
and teams for rations. Clear beautiful day. Moved at 9 A. M. up the valley.
About 3 P. M. arrived at Bunch's Trail, a pass through Clinch Mountain. Rebel
pickets here and drove them. Col. Acker dismounted 9th Mich. and dislodged them
from the Gap. After dark fell back to same place started from in the morning. Very
cold night, huddled down by fire with saddle blanket.
