[from the diary of Wesley Hammond, Co.. E, 42nd Virginia (Dixie Greys)
21. Leave our camp at sun-
down. Travel very slowly
and most of the night, was intense-
ley dark and rainy – had great
difficulty in getting along – Had
a skirmish with the enemy – Took
75 prisoners which came to our
camp, and was said that Steuart
took 800 at another point.
