Diary of Alexander G. Downing: Pittsburg Landing, Tennessee, Monday, April 28, 1862

We had company drill at 9 a. m. The weather is getting very warm; the sun shines hot, and we are sweeping our camp with brush brooms. We are being kept quite active, the doctors, we hear, having told the officers that the men would have better health if kept at work.
