Diary of Private Lewis C. Paxson, Sunday, September 14, 1862

Started in rain, 14 miles to St. Cloud and put up for the night. Trouble with Third about relieving guards. Gov. Ramsey here. Cannon arrived—9-pounder. Spent the evening at Ball's. Fort built in five days to hold 500 men, 100 feet in diameter.
