War Diary of Luman Harris Tenney.

21st. Took my horse out to graze in the morning. A good long letter from Fannie. Saw Delos’ journal. Ordered out on a reconnoissance. Went to the river. Major P. and several of us went down the bank about two miles. Pickets visible. Quite romantic, a narrow path between deep river and high perpendicular bluffs. In the evening wrote to Fannie. Have been happy all day.
