some supposed there were about ten acres in it, while others were as high as a thousand - At nine o'clock last night the Capt said he would stop in about an hour to take on some more wood and as he would lay there an hour or two we had better throw out pickets. I detailed at once 40 men and 10 Corporals and sent them out - it created quite an excitement and some of the men and even officers were somewhat frightened
