On this day, the 16th Ohio marched from their campsite on Big Sandy Creek 13 miles further northeast, in the direction of Jackson, Mississippi. Pvt. Peter Perrine, Company C, states:

...until the 10th when we marched 13 miles and camped in a corn field by the road side.

Cpl. Theodore Wolbach, Company E, further states:

On the 10th, at about 8 o'clock in the morning, we moved forward on the Jackson road. The dust was very thick at times and water not very plenty. To-day we passed through Cayuga, a very small place. Here more evidence of hasty flight presented itself in the topsy turvy appearance of things. It seemed that the terror stricken people stood not on the order of going but suddenly vamoosed.
