Diary of 5th Sergeant Alexander G. Downing: Wednesday, April 19, 1865

We struck our tents about noon and marched back about five miles, toward Raleigh, going into camp within three miles of town. We laid out our camp in regular order for the purpose of building small houses and covering them with our shelter tents.
