1862 December 12 near Nashville



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

  Dec. 12th, ’62.
Clear & warm to
day. Nothing un-
usual occurred to-
day. Have had a
standing order for
3 or 4 days, to have,
constantly, three days
rations in haversacks.
My right knee very

much swollen & quite
painful from the ef-
fects of a fall while
I had my company
out as skirmishers
in the affair of yes-
terday.

[transcript by Mary Roy Dawson Edwards]
