In charge of Col Wm E Morford[?] . Some places in the roads are very bad and we see plenty of wagons upset and broken. We got to Stafford Court house about two o’clock PM did not stop at the court house but passed through and parked about a mile and a half from there in a valley on the north side of a small stream said to be the headquarters of the aquia creek. When we was near the court house there was a drove of nearly two thousand condemned horses and mules passed us there was some very nice ones. It was fun to see the guards and men that was with the wagons catching and riding them. I caught one it is a large dark bay horse one of his fore legs is sore but he is (Sunday Continued) not lame. Only parked about one hour. Just long enough for the horses to eat this is the first time that the horses have been fed since we started. Generals Hooker Butterfield and Patrick passed us today. After the train started we went on untill [sic] about eight o’clock when we was ordered to park. Got our supper. The horses were fed and the men were just going to bed when orders came for us to start again. passed over a small stream that had a very bad bridge Some of the wagons that had went ahead of our train had upset but none of ours did. We had to go ahead of train and hold candles so that the teamsters could see to drive across the small stream Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
