Diary of Captain Luman Harris Tenney: December 22, 1864
Up at 4. Rain froze as it fell. Awfully cold. At 5:30 “To
horse” sounded. Soon a yell went up near the 2nd Brig., then a few shots. We
were ordered to mount immediately — did it. A line could be seen on a distant
hill. A few men came up within a few rods of camp. We moved to the flank, came
front into line, my Batt. 1st in advance. Threw out skirmishers. Firing commenced
immediately and we advanced, firing. Rebs run. Captured two and killed two. The
command proved to be Rosser's Div. which came in from the back road and from the
flank. Charged the 2nd Brig. and drove it. Passed to the rear and captured
several ambulance horses. Result was 30 men killed, wounded and missing on our
side. 22 men captured from rebs and 10 killed. One of H Co. sabre cut, and one
horse killed. Moved back and camped at Woodstock. 2nd on picket. Small force of
the enemy followed. Skirmished till dark.

Diary of 1st Lieutenant Luman Harris Tenney: Thursday, November 24, 1864
After breakfast went on picket on middle road, on reserve
post. Very quiet but cold — little sleep. Many prayers have gone up today for the
welfare of the soldiers and the salvation of the country. May God soon bring the
rebs to their senses and bring an honorable peace with freedom to all men.
