ARRIVAL AT CINCINNATI

On this day, the 16th Ohio, along with Col. John DeCourcey's brigade spent the day floating down the Ohio River toward Cincinnati. It arrived there about dark and tied up at Covington, on the Kentucky side of the river. Theodore Wolbach writes:

At Cincinnati we tied up two days, and many of the boys took a hasty look at the adjacent part of the city. ...
