Diary of Corporal Charles H. Lynch: October 21, 1864

We are rejoicing over the defeat of Early, and Sheridan's great victory. We are also happy over the part our corps, the 8th under Crook, had in bringing about the great victory. It was not our fault that we were not there. We continue our picket duty and laboring for the good of Martinsburg and the railroad.
