Diary of Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Stockton, September 23, 1863

Arrived at Memphis last night. My trip down the Mississippi river has been exceedingly tedious, the steamboat tying up almost every night on account of low water. Had pleasant companions, among them was Captain Bowers of General Grant's staff.
