Diary of 2nd Lieutenant Luman Harris Tenney: June 7, 1864


Our wagons came up. Went down again to train. Took four mules to draw forge. Q. M. away, so failed. Have worked pretty faithfully for a forge but yet without success. Saw Col. of 2nd N. Y. this morning and borrowed a forge — temporarily. Got some clothing and shoeing tools.

Diary of 2nd Lieutenant Luman Harris Tenney: June 8, 1864

Got an order from Col. Hammond and procured a forge of the 5th N. Y., an old one, shoes and nails. 2nd O. V. C. went out on picket. Relieved 1st Conn. Firing still continues at intervals along the line. Grant is getting siege guns up to the front. Everything looks encouraging. Railroad in progress.
