Excerpts from J.P. Cannon Diary Entries from "Bloody Banners and Barefoot Boys -"

WEDNESDAY, MAY 18, 1864: Near Cassville, Ga.

      We left Adairsville last night at 10 o'clock and had a dreary, tiresome march all night arriving at Cassville at daylight and "slept on arms" till 9 a.m., then moved half a mile and formed a new line.
      Our company was detailed as skirmishers, and we had a lively time the balance of the day, but being in the timber we all took shelter behind trees and a six hour battle resulted in very little loss to either side. We were relieved early in the night and returned to the line-of-battle, but the pickets kept upa ceaseless firing as long as we remained awake.
      General Johnston sent around a circular complimenting the troops upon their steadiness and faithfulness on the battlefield and on retreat. He said we have repulsed every assault, that we are weakening the enemy and strengthening.

FRIDAY, MAY 20, 1864:

      We had to skedaddle again last night, passing through Cartersville and across the Etowah River; marched all night till 12 o'clock today when we stopped and formed in line-of-battle. The Yankees followed closely and almost by the time we got ready they were in line, confronting us and the pickets commenced their same old pastime.
      Since this campaign opened, all the cooking has been done in the rear by men detailed for that purpose, as we have had no time for cooking, having been in line-of-battle or on the retreat since the 12th of May. The usual picket fighting and sharp-shooting has been going on all day, but nothing of importance occurred. Two hundred Yankees crossed the river on a reconnoitering expedition, but were captured without a fight.

MONDAY, MAY 23, 1864: "Way down in Georgia"

      We had a fair night's sleep and got up wondering what would be the program for the day. At 10 a.m. we commenced "advancing backward" again and moved in the direction of Marietta; had a hot dusty, and disagreeable march all day, stacked arms and camped in line-of-battle.
      Rations are getting very scarce. We are getting about enough cornbread and bacon for one meal. This constitutes a day's rations. Lt. Chandler slipped out on a foraging expedition during the march, and came in at night with an arm full of cornbread, which we enjoyed very much in the absence of anything better. Jim says there is nothing to eat in the country and he is the best forager in the regiment. When he fails, no one else need try.

This is an excerpt from Blue & GrayTrail, a Guide to the Civil War sites in Chattanooga and Northwest Georgia:
