Diary of Alexander G. Downing: Wednesday, October 7, 1863

Six regiments were stationed at the different roads last night to reinforce the regular pickets. But the rebels did not make their appearance as it was reported they would. Our regiment was relieved at 10 o'clock this morning by the Thirteenth Iowa. We were struck by a fearful rain and windstorm last night.
