Robert M. Magill—Personal Reminiscences of a Confederate Soldier Boy, 39th Georgia Regiment of Infantry

Monday, 10th.—Federals retreated last night. At midnight, ordered to Kelly’s Ferry. I am detailed to cook rations for the company; glad of it, for I feel very unwell, and do not wish to march. By eight o’clock had rations cooked and loaded up ready to start. Crossed Lookout Mountain, three miles from ferry; met regiment coming back; 6 P. M., back at Chattanooga.
