Diary of Private Charles H. Lynch: May 28, 1864

Nothing important occurred last night. All quiet this morning. In an open country where we have a good view. We are located west of the pike. Ordered to keep a sharp lookout for the enemy's cavalry and guerillas. Late this afternoon we were relieved from picket duty. This is a fine country as we continue to see.
