made about three miles.

The distance from one brow to the other is
twenty miles, of rolling table land of light
sandy soil, thickly covered with timber but
of small growth, but as we approached this
side, the trees were larger & of greater variety
among which were the yellow or hard pine
Tamarack & a few spruce

We found six or seven log huts on the
road and a few small fields of corn.
Arround each hut was a liberal supply of
pigs & youngs ones, the latter half naked
dirty & wild -

we saw no guerillas but when the 2nd Brig
came along they were fired upon and
two men badly wounded. - one of
Davis' orderlies was wounded and the
villain that did it was captured.

Rosa determined the fate of all such fellows
two weeks ago in a general order, which
is, that they be quietly suspended by their
necks until the wind is taken out
of them. - Down the mountain this
side it is very, very steep & in some
places the wagons had to be let down with
ropes & for this purpose three Regts of this
Brig were left, and we were sent on
to this place traveling as body guard
