Diary of Corporal Alexander G. Downing: Tuesday, March 22, 1864

We reached La Salle at 2 o'clock this afternoon and changed cars for Davenport, arriving at our destination at dark. I took lodging at the Davis House. The taverns are all crowded, because of so many soldiers coming home on their furloughs.
