We heard of them on our march of their being on our right. I never heard of any considerable force being on our left. All the information I received was to the effect that they were to our right, perhaps a little farther advanced.

Question. Could you not trace out on the map the march of the rebel army at Hartsville?

I could not. I had not the means at the time. I felt a delicacy of exhibiting any improper inquisitiveness. I was with General Crittenden almost constantly.

Question. What position did General Crittenden's army hold on that march?

I understood the divisions of Generals Wood and Rousseau were in advance of General Crittenden when we left Nashville and that they were to take the Gallatin road.

The COURT. You must speak of your own knowledge.

The WITNESS. I saw on Monday, after we left Nashville, that we overtook a part of General Rousseau's forces. I saw his staff officers and conversed with them and subsequently joined them. we frequently halted on the march to Bowling Green. Near the city we were encamped a few days. We arrived at Bowling Green on Saturday, the 13th. It was the Saturday before the attack on Munfordville. Sunday we understood that Wilder had been attacked and had repulsed the enemy. On Tuesday following Wilder surrendered; that was on the 16th, I think. At that time we were in Bowling Green. We arrived there on Saturday, the afternoon, and remained until Tuesday evening. General Crittenden was encamped, and General McCook was down about 2 miles beyond Bowling Green, at the Cave. I don't exactly recollect the name of the place. General Crittenden marched on Tuesday evening and crossed the river and there remained over night. We heard on Sunday night or Monday morning that Munfordville had been attacked.

Question. At what rate had you been marching from Nashville to Bowling Green?

I should state here that I am not a soldier by education and profession and know little about what should be regarded a proper march. From Nashville to Bowling Green we were halted four times before we arrived at Bowling Green. We were eight days on the road. I think one day we did not march more than 2 or 3 miles. We left Bowling Green, as already stated, on Tuesday evening. On that day Colonel Wilder surrendered. I think the next day we made a pretty heavy march, that is, on Wednesday. On Tuesday evening we marched through Bowling Gren across the river. We arrived at Cave City in the afternoon on Thursday. It was from there 10 to 12 miles to Munfordville. We crossed the Barren River at Bowling Green on the bridge, but the rain, I think, forded it.

Question. What was the object of the delay at Bowling Green?

There was a baggage train sent in advance to Bowling Green. It was a heavy train.

Question. Did General Crittenden give you any reason for remaining so long in Bowling Green?

I think General Crittenden was very anxious to move. He had information that Frankfort was taken and he seemed rather impatient to move. The troops were also very anxious to move, particularly the Ohio and Indiana troops, of which our forces were principally composed.

Question. Do you know the reasons why Munfordville was not relieved?

I never heard of any reason why it was not relieved and no re-enforcements sent.

(General Buell objected to the question on the ground that the question assumes that Munfordville ought to have been relieved and that it should have been relieved by his army.)

Question. You left the army near Louisville and of course know nothing of its subsequent operations?

I do not.

Question. How long did you remain in Cave City?
