MOVING SOUTH TOWARD MEMPHIS
Blue pin - New Albany, Indiana
Green pin - notional point where the flotilla anchored for the night on November 19, 1862
On this day the regiment, with DeCourcey's brigade, remained anchored until evening. The flotilla then proceeded down the Ohio River for three hours and again anchored for the night. The place of this anchorage is not known but at a rate of ten miles per hour we will assume they moved south about 30 miles.
