Foraging and Battle Near Eastport in Winter 1863

Henry Selden and Ivan Clermont recount a grueling trek for scarce rations, a daring foraging raid toward Iuka, and a tense night evading guerrilla horsemen. They endure cold, build shelter, share hardtack and pork, then rejoin their regiment on the Tennessee with comrades wounded but alive as rations finally arrive.
