1862 December 1 near Nashville, Tenn.

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



     Dec. 1st., ’62.
A most violent
thunder storm last
night; the rain fell in
torrents.
Cloudy this morn-
ing, but not rain-
ing. Quite cool.
This afternoon we
were reviewed, pre-
paratory, it is said,
to a general review
by General Rosecrans.
Col. Wagoner’s quar-
ters are now on
the very same ground
that the[y] were last
winter!

Cannonading heard
this P.M. of[f] to the
W.S.W., in the direc-
tion of McCook’s di-
vision.
