Diary of Private Lewis C. Paxson, Saturday, September 13, 1862

A stockade around church at Monticello. We took dinner at Monticello. A messenger arrived from Sauk Center, two companies awaiting us. Put up for the night at Green Lake within two miles of Clear Water. Very rainy. I slept in barn. Twenty-six miles today, marched 10 miles, 2 1-2 hours. Ten eggs, 5c.
