[from the diary of John Tyler of Letcher's Artillery]
Friday 22 – This morning finds only about
2 miles from old camp. Again resume our
march. Team of wagons some 12 miles long
Travel about 15 miles – Cross the Rapidan &
passed as pretty country as I ever saw. Yet
it seemed to be almost desolated – Had but
two little crackers to eat today – Travelled til
late at night and through torrent of rain. Road desperate.
