" Gen. Baird conducted us to a large open field, where my men laid down their weary bodies to rest. Our movements in the night had so confused me that I did not know even the points of the compass. Lieut. Devol was the only staff officer with me, the others and the orderlies having lost me in the darkness, so I directed the lieutenant to find out our whereabouts ; whether that house off yonder was Kelly's, where we halted in the morning before the battle began. He was urged to learn all he coul...d about the events of the day, and to take the two canteens along and fill them with water. I tried to impress him with my locality in order that he might find me when he returned. So I sat down upon the ground, hold- ing the bridle of my horse in my hand to await chickamauga's bloody field. 151 news and water. But I waited and waited, but did not see him again until morning ; he too had lost me ! My condition was indeed forlorn and miserable ! A cup of coffee that morning was my only nourishment since the evening before at Stevens' Gap; my inflamed eyes itched and burned, asthmatic coughing and breathing, and all the discomforts of hay fever added to my sorry plight.
