Status - John Baer - 40th Indiana Regiment - Crittenden's Corps - Wood's Division - Wagner's Brigade
Discussion continues with Washington as to Rosecrans' plans for advances. On the 9th, Rosecrans messages to Burnside in Kentucky that Crittenden's Corps will move to the Sequatchie River at Dunlap, TN. Two days later, the corps seems to be headed toward Tracy City, TN.
A route has not yet been chosen for the army's approach to Chattanooga and Bragg's Army. There are small advances near the Tennessee River and some activity on the railroads.
