at last it got dark and we had just 8 miles to go before we could get a place to camp and all the times that ever was we had it then. Up hills & down we came down one hill that was a mile long. Some places the were 2 feet jump or other wise the rocks were just like steps one wagon broke down and we had to leave it. At last we came where the Regt. had camped and a glader set of men never was than we. It was just nine o clock we had traveled over 20 miles we have been marching over the same road that Curby Smith went on his retreat from Cincinati I pity Danel Boon if he through his travel of Kentuck went over the road that we went. This morn we marched to this place which is called Cynthiana we are now camping where the fight was we have picked up a good many reble bullets on the march you could see men strewn along the road they had given out the most of them has come in camp to day I have heard of Ky being a fine country
