Monday. 23d.—We crossed Cumberland Mountain at the Gap. Here we passed out of Tennessee, across the corner of Virginia, and into Kentucky in going, perhaps, a little over one hundred yards. Virginia corners at Cumberland Gap, a little west of the road.
Some grand mountain scenery met our view at the Gap. We saw bluffs and peaks from one thousand to seventeen hundred feet high.
Passing on fifteen miles beyond the Gap, crossing the three “Log Mountains,” we encamped at Camp Buckner (Cumberland Ford), in Knox County, Kentucky.
