December 14 — Renewed our march this morning toward Strasburg. We crossed Passage Creek, a small mountain stream running through Powell’s Fort Valley. The creek was frozen over and we had some difficulty in fording on account of the ice. Two or three of our horses fell down in the stream. We passed Waterlick, a station on the Manassas Gap Railroad three miles below Strasburg and forded the Little Shenandoah River one mile below Strasburg. We struck the Valley pike at Strasburg, came through town, and are camped this evening at Locust Grove schoolhouse on the Manasses Gap Railroad, half mile northwest of Fisher’s Hill.
