March 21 — Renewed our march this morning and moved to within two miles of Gordonsville, and camped.
Gordonsville is a little railroad town situated in the southwestern edge of Orange County, and at the juncture of the Virginia Central and the Orange and Alexandria railroads. The country right around the little town is level, and some of the land seems to be of good quality; but on the east side of town the chincapin bushes are close by, which is not a very good indication of a deep or fertile soil.
