Status - John Baer - 40th Indiana Regiment
On January 25th, 1862 the 40th Indiana had moved to Lebanon under command of General Thomas J. Wood. The 20th and 21st Brigades had moved forward; the 20th Brigade was building a corduroy road starting at Danville, 20 mile east of Lebanon. The 40th Indiana, with the 21st Brigade, remained at Lebanon.
There are few events to report since the 21st. The victory at Logan's Cross Roads was not followed up due to impassible roads and a lack of supplies. Armies are still not moving. President Lincoln has lost any remaining patience with stationary armies, as will become clear soon.
