Diary of Ephraim Shelby Dodd, Co. D of Terry's Texas Rangers

Tuesday, 24th—Just before leaving a couple of young lady equestrians passed out of town from Mr. Fisher’s. I jumped on H. Emnoff’s horse and overtook them, rode out a mile with them and turned off pike. If I should ever get back to L. I intend seeking them and make their acquaintance. After dinner we bid our kind friends adieu and put out, overtook the Command about eleven miles from Shelbyville.
