Ordered to be ready
to march at day-
light; - started
after 10 A.M.
Feel rather sore
after yesterday's
march, which was
quite fatigueing,
owing, greatly, to
the heat & dust.
Business quite
brisk on the pike
today & yesterday;
a considerable
crowd "around
about!" the rebel
cavalry pickets
were yeterday
where we encamped
last night. The pike
is filled for miles,
with wagons at-
tached to the army.
Mules! Mules! Mules!!
report of skirmish-
ing 7 miles in ad-
vance, this morning;
Col. of 17 Md. report-
ed killed. Marched
6 or 7 miles; skirmish-
ing in advance of our
division. Rained almost
all afternoon. Night
very wet & disagreeable.
Hunter is describing the fighting on the Shepherdsville Road during the Union advance from Louisville to Bardstown, Ky.
