1862 October 22 near Clarksburg, Va.

[from the diary of James Dinsmore Templeton, musician and private in the 23rd Ohio]


Wednesday, Oct. 22, 1862
Another day of
anxiety has at
length passed it
has certainly been
a very long one
This morning we
had assurances from
Adjt gen Kenedy that
Gen Crook would muster
us out this morning
the day however passed
in expectancy & he did
not come
This evening Capt McL
says that Crook will
attend to us in the
morning.  Maj Comly
came in today
The 20th Regt left this
afternon toward Western
Md.  Clear Cool

P.S. a Hazy day
resembling Indian summer
