Diary of a Young Officer–Josiah Marshall Favill (57th New York Infantry)

November 26th. Yesterday to the intense disgust of all hands, orders were issued to prepare to march, and this morning at daylight the whole command fell in and marched away, leaving their cozy huts, just finished, to whoever choose to take them. The column marched via Germania Ford, crossed the Rapidan and bivouacked for the night on the south side, near Flat Run Church.
