Diary of Private Daniel L. Ambrose: August 7, 1862

[T]he regiment is ordered to advance a short distance and clear off a new camping ground. In the evening we notice some of the Seventh boys escorting in from the picket line a squad of guerrillas. They are taken to Corinth that they may have their names registered and obtain lodgings at the Military Hotel.
