Diary of Corporal John W. Dennett, June 22, 1863

Started from Middleburg at half-past nine A.M., and stopped in the road three hours while eight or ten thousand cavalry passed us. Saw a lot of rebel prisoners in a barn. Started about noon, and went back to the town, and went into battery about a mile from it. Stopped an hour, then limbered up, and started up and went back to camp at Aldie. Arrived at half-past four, and remained in camp till June 26.
