The three
battalions of the Second Cavalry marched thirty miles to Harrisonville, the county
seat of Cass County, once a thrifty town, almost entirely deserted. Day
blustering and chilly. A march makes pretty busy times distributing rations,
getting forage for so many horses. Letter from Fannie. Encamped by the side of a
little stream.
