1862 September 26 Louisville

[from the diary of Captain William F. Hunter,Co.. B., 97th Ohio]

     Sept. 26, ’62.

The reg’t. was or-
dered to fall in
line at 3 A.M. &
stand until day-
light; I was so
unwell that I
did not go out.
We marched down
to Broadway to a
general inspection;
which lasted about
an hour. Returned,
& were ordered to pre-
pare, & be ready to move
at any moment.
Saw Buell & Nel-    
son.


From my observations,
which have been
somewhat limited,
I think Louisville
a very fine city, con-
taining, (on Broad-
way,) some of the
most magnificent
private residences,
I ever saw.  After
supper we moved a-
bout a mile & ½ to
the e., farther out of
the city. We halted
& slept on the ground
in an old brick-
yard.
