Gen. Sherman's command for the last week has been thronging
Corinth, and moving on towards Iuka. Marching orders is now the cry in camp.
Four o'clock P. M. we are in the saddle with three days' rations. General
Dodge's entire command is now in motion. Our regiment moves on the road leading
through Jacinto, Mississippi, to Iuka. Nine o'clock in the evening we go into
camp at Jacinto.

This is an undated paragraph at the beginning of a new chapter, previous to this was the entry for Saturday, October 24th, and the next entry is for Monday, October 26th. So this is either a continuation of the entry for the 24th, a new entry for the 26th, or a remembrance placed at the head of the chapter to keep the reader up to day of the movements of the 7th Illinois Infantry. — Your Blog Editor
