Diary of Private Daniel L. Ambrose: December 1, 1862

To-day Lieutenant J. L. Ring having recovered from his wound received in the battle of Corinth, returns to the Regiment and assumes command of his company. During these days we find nothing to note; everything is quiet until December 17th when the military is discovered to be unusually active, aids and orderlies moving to and fro giving orders and carrying dispatches. Being so long quiet in camp we surmise we will move soon So may it be; for all are eager to march forth again upon the war path.
