1861 October 23

[from the diary of Eugene M. Cox of the Albemarle Border Guards]

9 P.M. Still remain in camp here "Meadow Bluff"--but the indications at present are that we will soon resume our march eastward--have spent this day very agreeably--This is a very beautiful place but like the rest of the country along our line of march, has been dreadfully defaced--and it will doubtless take several years of industry to restore it to the status in which we found it.

MSS 38-221
