Have sent home my diary and am beginning another. I must be more brief, for the great mass just sent off covers but little ground and will t...

Feel slim to-day, but am still able to do duty. There is so little to write about, as long as we make no change. I am going to wait for some...

Something has happened. Last night, just as we were settling down for the night, orders came for a move. Dr. Andrus came round looking us ov...

Snow going fast. A day more like May than November. Hear the regiment is on a vessel off shore waiting for something, I don't know what....

Four men died last night. A major from one of the regiments came to see some of his men here. He doesn't enthuse much over the condition...

Two more deaths last night. As I have nothing better to do I will describe what I saw of a military funeral. It was an artilleryman in a pla...

John Van has been over again and says his regiment is going into winter quarters in the city outskirts. I hear the 128th has sailed for Fort...

Orders got too strict for my candle and I had to put it out. We made so much noise that the doors were shut on us finally and we were in pit...

Well, I have had a good sleep, if I did have a hard time getting it. Our cornstalk bed which promised so well, did not prove so. The stalks ...

Have laid on the ground alongside the track resting and sleeping, waiting for the bridge to be repaired so we can go home. SOURCE:  Lawren...

5 a. m. The cars shrink, or the men swell, for certainly everybody had less room last night than before. Cross and crabbed, sore in every ...
