This pass measures 2 by 5 inches, "Murfreesboro, Tennessee, November 29th 1862." Note that the 6 was inverted to make the date read 1892. There are other typos, an inverted "the", omission of ll in Marshall. The pass allowed Lt Churchill from the Salem road to Fayetteville. Generally Braxton Bragg moved his army to Murfreesobro on November 26th 1862 and this hastily printed crude field press pass reflects the likely turmoil of that time. Pass is signed by Lt and Provost Marshall Frank Tryon, 2nd Kentucky, MWIA at Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Tipped, else VG. The Salem road ran southeast out of Murfreesboro.
