Diary of Alexander G. Downing; Company E, Eleventh Iowa Infantry
    

Downing’s Civil War Diary.–Alexander G. Downing.

Sunday, 29th–It was 9 o’clock before we got started this morning and though the country here between two mountains is very rough, we covered fourteen miles and went into camp in the mountains for the first time. Large foraging parties were sent out this morning to secure meat. Our advance lines had a skirmish with the rebels this afternoon. The health of the men is good, but many have sore feet from the hard marching.
