150 years Ago (1864 6/23)
Left of Petersburg, June 23, 1864.
Down to the left of petersburg near the rail road. I am well. We left that nasty line where we were at about 12 at night. Lost one man in our regiment. We then came round here. Laid down here at about 1 o’clock. It is now 10 A.M. This is the first time I have slept since I joined the regiment. The 10th is near us. They were just ahead of us last night, but we have no time to visit. The time I have had for rest has been well improved by me. I have kept in the ranks yet.
