Diary of Private Daniel L. Ambrose: Wednesday, February 19, 1862

This morning it is raining very hard. A large number of troops have found shelter in the rebel barracks, but some are still out in the woods without blankets. (For once the Seventh is more fortunate.) But they are cheerful and their spirits run high when, they look at the old flag and see where and how far into Tennessee they have borne it.
