Having received our clothing, saddles, and one month's pay, we were busy making the necessary preparations for our anticipated march.

Diary of 2nd Lieutenant Luman Harris Tenney: December 23, 1863
Hillhouse came around early. Hurried breakfast and wrote a
few lines home and to Fannie, for Thede to take. Got George a saddle and Lewis
govt. horse. How I dislike to have Thede leave me. I shall be homesick. Still
it is best. Poor fellow. God grant he may get well soon. Command moved at 9 A.
M. following Woolford's division. I waited till near dark. Lu (Emmons) and I
went together. Awful ford over Holston. Found brigade at Newmarket. Took supper
with Maj. Nettleton. Slept on floor.

Diary of 2nd Lieutenant Luman Harris Tenney: August 14, 1863
(Kentucky.) Boys came
down and got saddles, etc., and at the depot in time for the 6:30 o'clock
train. Horses remained behind. Reached Nicholasville at noon. Tried to find
rations, failed. Found a private house to board at, Mrs. Fletcher's. Plenty of negroes
to wait on you. Wrote a letter home, read a little. Husband in our army, but
all Southern sympathizers.

Diary of Sergeant Major Luman Harris Tenney: July 22, 1863
Another chat with some rebels. Some intelligent, but
impudent. Makes the boys mad that they are not deprived of their plunder. Drew
and issued three days' rations. Managed to get a saddle. Day passed very
quietly. Waiting for transports, they say.

Thede got on order a secesh saddle. Gave up my mare to Dr.
Smith. Gave me an old plug. Traded her for a pretty brown mare, $25 to boot.
Jeff gave us a shave all round. Apples. Cleaned revolvers. Traded and gave $5
for a silver mounted one. Ordered to march tomorrow with Com. horses to Cinn.

Diary of Corporal Charles H. Lynch: June 15, 1865
Nothing special has taken place since the last date. Public
auction in town today. All government property must be sold. An agent here in
charge. Horses, mules, saddles, wagons, ambulances. Some of our company have
been on duty and in charge of the corral for several days. Will be glad to see
the thing closed up. Some of the horses and mules were kickers, as well as some
of our boys, who did not like that kind of work.
