Pvt. Little, 84th Ind. Inf. Regt., was stationed in northern Ky. in Sept. 1862. In letters to his wife, Sally, he mentions the construction of fortifications across the Ohio River from Cincinnati and the presence of black troops in that city. From Nov. 1862 until Jan. 1863, he was stationed near Catlettsburg, Ky. He describes a plan by men in his regiment to tear down a house there occupied by three prostitutes. He also refers to the Battle of Wireman's Shoals (undated, 6 Dec. 1862).
