1862 October 27 Adair County, Ky.

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

     Oct. 27th, ’62.
Very cold last night.
Having no blankets,
I sleep very little at
night, & marching rap-
idly all day, under

such circumstances,
is not very pleasant.
Clear & cold this morn-
ing. Over 300 men
in our reg’t. unfit
for duty.
