Diary of 2nd Lieutenant Benjamin F. Pearson, October 14, 1862

It was the day of our state & county elections & there was little stur in the Camp. I was officer of the guard today & I plased a line of guards across the camp between the two Regiments to prevent any mixing on election day & every thing passed off with little or no disturbance.
