Diary of Alexander G. Downing: Wednesday, June 10, 1863

The cool morning was followed by a rain all day ending at dark in a heavy windstorm. Companies E and D of the Eleventh Iowa worked all last night in cutting a road through the canebrakes to the rebels' breastworks. Skirmishing has been going on all day.
