left near the trap standing up against a tree, and
Dave ran up and grabbed it and struck the animal on
the head and cut his throat. How we did laugh and
dance around that defunct porker. Exciting sport this
trapping for fresh pork. In half an hour Dave and Eli
had the pig skinned and dressed. Is not a large one
probably weighs ninety pounds or so, and is fat and
nice. Have sliced up enough for about a dozen men
and are now cooking it on sticks held up before the
fire. Also frying some in a skillet which we are the
possessor of. When the hogs run wild and eat
acorns, roots and the like, the meat is tough and
curly but is sweet and good. We fry out the grease
and then slice up the potatoes and cook in it. Thanks
to Mr. Kimball we have plenty of salt to season our
meat with. The buzzards are after their share which
will be small. And now it is most night again and the
“Astor House” larder is full. Seems too bad to go to
bed with anything to eat on hand, but must. That is
the feeling with men who have been starved so long,
cannot rest in peace with food laying around. My two
comrades are not so bad about that as I am, having
been well fed for a longer period. Have sat up three
or four hours after dark, talking over what we will do
when we get home, and will now turn in for a sound
sleep. It’s a clear moonlight night, and we can hear
very plain a long distance. Can also see the light
shining from camp fires in many directions, or what
we take to be such.
Dec. 22.—As Dan Rice used to say in the circus
ring: “Here we are again.” Sleep so sound that all the
battles in America could not wake me up. Are just
going for that fresh pork to-day. Have three kinds of
meat—fried pig, roast pork and broiled hog. Good
any way you can fix it. Won’t last us three days at
this rate, and if we stay long enough will eat up all
the hogs in these woods. Pretty hoggish on our part,
and Dave says for gracious sake not to write down
how much we eat, but as this diary is to be a record
of what takes place, down it goes how much we eat.
Tell him that inasmuch as we have a preacher along
with us, we ought to have a sermon occasionally.
Says he will preach if I will sing, and I agree to that if
Eli will take up a collection. One objection Eli and I
have to his prayers is the fact that he wants the
rebels saved with the rest, yet don’t tell him so.
Mutually agree that his prayers are that much too
long. Asked him if he thought it stealing to get those
potatoes as I did, and he says no, and that he will go
next time. We begin to expect the Yankees along. It’s
about time. Don’t know what I shall do when I again
see Union soldiers with guns in their hands, and
behold the Stars and Stripes. Probably go crazy, or
daft, or something. This is a cloudy, chilly day, and
we putter around gathering up pine knots for the fire,
wash our duds and otherwise busy ourselves. Have
saved the hog skin to make moccasins of, if the
Union army is whipped and we have to stay here
eight or ten years. The hair on our heads is getting
long again, and we begin to look like wild men of the
woods. One pocket comb does for the entire party;
two jack knives and a butcher knife. I have four keys
jingling away in my pocket to remind me of olden
times. Eli has a testament and Dave has a bible, and
the writer hereof has not. Still, I get scripture quoted
at all hours, which will, perhaps, make up in a
measure. Am at liberty to use either one of their
books, and I do read more or less. Considerable
travel on the highways, and going both ways as near
as we can judge. Dave wants to go out to the road
again but we discourage him in it, and he gives it up
for to-day at least. Are afraid he will get caught, and
then our main stay will be gone. Pitch pine knots
make a great smoke which rises among the trees
and we are a little afraid of the consequences; still,
rebels have plenty to do now without looking us up.
Many boats go up and down the river and can hear
them talk perhaps fifty rods away. Rebel paper that
Dave got spoke of Savannah being the point aimed
at by Sherman, also of his repulses; still I notice that
he keeps coming right along. Also quoted part of a
speech by Jefferson Davis, and he is criticised
unmercifully. Says nothing about any exchange of
prisoners, and our old comrades are no doubt
languishing in some prison. Later.—Considerable
firing up in vicinity of the bridge. Can hear volleys of
musketry, and an occasional boom of cannon.
Hurrah! It is now four o’clock by the sun and the
battle is certainly taking place. Later.—Go it Billy
Sherman, we are listening and wishing you the best
of success. Come right along and we will be with
you. Give ’em another—that was a good one. We
couldn’t be more excited if we were right in the midst
of it. Hurrah! It is now warm for the Johnnies. If we
had guns would go out and fight in their rear;
surround them, as it were. Troops going by to the
front, and are cavalry, should think, also artillery. Can
hear teamsters swearing away as they always do.
Later.—It is now long after dark and we have a good
fire. Fighting has partially subsided up the river, but
of course we don’t know whether Yankee troops
have crossed the river or not. Great deal of travel on
the road, but can hardly tell which way they are
going. Occasional firing. No sleep for us to-night. In
the morning shall go out to the road and see how
things look. Every little while when the battle raged
the loudest, all of us three would hurrah as if mad,
but we ain’t mad a bit; are tickled most to death.
SAFE AND SOUND.
