Diary of Private Jenkin Lloyd Jones: Wednesday, October 22, 1862

Corinth. While on drill in the afternoon, I, in attempting to mount, lost my balance and fell, the hind wheel of the caisson running over my left ankle, luckily without any dislocation. After drill I was taken to the hospital, my foot being very painful during the night.
