United States Civil War
FIFTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
On the 9th, at noon, the line of march was again taken up towards the left. We arrived at Po river about 5 P. M. and had a skirmish with the enemy's cavalry, but succeeded in crossing the river without much' difficulty. The brigade marched from the river about three miles and encamped for the remainder of the night with the remainder of the division and corps.
"On the morning of the 10th we found ourselves in close proximity to the rebels, who opened several batteries along the line, but did us no damage. The 57th Pennsylvania and 4th Maine were sent out on a reconnoissance to the right and front of the position we had occupied on the night of the 9th, nearly four miles.
