"The winter [1862-63] was spent in outpost duty, picketing this and neighboring passes in the Cumberland mountains, and making several expeditions into Kentucky. The details for guard duty in this service were excessive, and the command suffered greatly from privation and exposure. The loss by death from disease was appalling, camp fever and an epidemic of measles being extremely fatal, the natural death of inexperience and a deplorable lack of hospital accommodations and facilities." Captain Isaac H.. Bailey, Company B, Fifty-eighth North Carolina Regiment, while stationed in the Cumberland Gap. (Captain Isaac Bailey was later severely wounded at the Battle of Chickamauga.)
