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


     Oct. 21st., 62.
Laid in camp all
day; at 11 ½ o’clock

P.M. as many of us
as were able; were
called into line of
battle. My command
consisted of 12 men,
nearly all of whom
were half sick.
An attack by Mor-
gan’s cavalry was
apprehended, but
was not made.
