[from the diary of Capt. William F. Hunter, Co. B., 97th Ohio]
Oct. 6, ‘62
Cold last night,
& very little rest.
Dews remarka-
bley heavy. Three
deserters from
rebels came in
this morning.
Started at 8 A.M.
marched hard all
day; my feet are
very sore, render-
ing walking an ex-
ceedingly painful
operation. I had but
one hard cracker to
eat to-day.
Encamped for the
night in the Fair
grounds of Spring-
field, Ky; the Hall
in the grounds is very
fine.
