Weather cold and stormy. Received marching orders about one o'clock last night. We left our tents and knapsacks only took our rubber blankets and one woolen with three days rations in haversacks. Took the Salem pike eight miles then turned to the left -- marched to Versailles 3 miles from the Salem road. All of our division did not move until 4 o'clock PM when we turned into a cedar forest over the worst roads I ever saw. Marched until dark, camped in an open field. Our cavalry took a Secesh camp baggage and all 47 prisoners.
Thursday March 5th:
Weather fine during the day but some rain at night./ Left the pike again this morning and marched acrost the country to Eagleville about 4 miles from the Salem Pike on the Nashville and Shelbyville road. Here we remained in line during the day expecting to move at any moment and attack the enemy. Goodrich and myself got each a bundle of straw to sleep on.
Friday Mar. 6th:
Weather warm and rainy. Up at 4 clock, breakfast at past 4. Ordered to move at 5 but did not move til 7. We then marched out taking a direction North by NW about 5 miles when we turned into the wood and formed a line of battle and will remain over night.
Sat. Mar. 7th:
Rained almost all night and we would have been in a sorry plight except for our Rubbers. We did not move until about 2 o'clock.
Sunday Mar. 8th:
Weather bad and stormy.
Marched up the Nolansville Pike to Tryune, turned to the left, marched 8 miles from our old camp.
