Diaries
Creed T. Davis: January 13, 1865
Yesterday, after putting the guns on the cars, all the boys who had drawn horses set out for home in squads and singly. I am among the lucky ones who drew horses but did not get a saddle, as there were not enough for all. So I am on the road bareback with a poor horse, bound for Richmond, via Staunton. I leave the company in winter quarters at Fishersville. Heaven help them!
