War Diary of Luman Harris Tenney.

10th. Renewed our march soon after sunrise. Got some biscuit for lunch. Drake and I rode together some again. Got into Sharpsburg a little after noon. We of the commissary put our horses in a shed and slept in a hayloft. Issued one day’s rations. Such a green Com., never saw. Ate supper at a sound Union family’s Hart’s. Sarah very pretty little girl. Saw quite a scene at the hotel about a slave. Four or five girls crying.
