overcoats, or shoes. On the 14th of January, 1864, the regiment marched to Dandridge, but on the 17th fell back to Strawberry Plains, whence, on the 21st, the march was continued to a point near Knoxville, where it was stationed until February 15th, engaged on picket and out-post duty. The enemy's cavalry attacked its pickets January 27th, and mortally wounded one man and captured seven others.
