Diary of 5th Sergeant Alexander G. Downing: Monday, May 29, 1865

It is reported in camp that the western men in General Sherman's army will be transferred to Louisville, Kentucky, by rail and by transports on the Ohio, there to be mustered out of the service. The veterans are anxious to get their discharge, for since the war is over we have no desire to remain in the army.
