From Cairo, on the seventeenth of [July], the regiment is
marched up the Ohio river as far as Mound City, where it is quartered in a
large brick building, on the bank of the river, which the Seventh will remember
as Camp Joslyn, named in honor of Captain Joslyn of Company A. These were quiet
days with the Seventh. In their ardor they felt in themselves the strength of
giants.
