1862 September 3 Goose Creek

 [from the diary of Lt. John Tyler, of Letcher's Artillery]

(Sept. 3rd)
At 5 o’c were on the march.  Leaving the
Fairfax road turned off at a right angle
to the left and continued our march
all day through the woods  on road to
Leesburg.  Halted & Bivouaced in evening
this side of Goose Creek.  I have been so
sick today that it was with difficulty
I rode my horse, have eaten nothing for
two days , and am very weak.
