December 3, 1862 - Wednesday - 160 years ago today

Status - John Baer - 40th Indiana Regiment - Crittenden's Corps - Wood's Division - Wagner's Brigade 

The recent quiet time remains in effect as General Rosecrans continues to work on the organization, supply, discipline, and positioning of the army, while sending various expeditions out to try to find the Confederate cavalry.

Rosecrans views all these measures as prerequisites for moving forward; the Government at Washington does not, and will soon be prodding Rosecrans once again to move forward.
