1862 December 14 near Nashville

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



     Dec. 14th, ’62.
Quite pleasant this
morning.
My knee no better:
Owing to my lame-
ness, I was detail-
ed to take charge
of the Camp in
the absence of the
reg’t.
     The reg’t., with
others, as an es-
cort for a for-
age train, marched
across to the N. &
Lebanon pike, & out

               
W about 6 miles, &
returned about 5
P.M. with the wagons
well loaded.
     Appearance of
rain this evening.
