Nov. 10th, '62

At 8 A.M. ordered
to prepare to march,
immediately. Started
near 12 M., crossed
the River; traveled
about 8 miles when
the road upon which
we were intersected
the Leanon & Nashville
pike. We then turned
to the right toward
Nashville. We march-
ed on until dark
when we encamped.
Van Clive's division
to-day entered Leb-
anon [Ky.] & ransacked &
pillaged the town --
so they say -- & then
returned to us
shortly after we
encamped. We
are now about
20 miles from Nash-
ville.
Clear & warm to-day.

Brigadier General Horatio Phillips Van Cleve (1809-1891)
