Following the American Civil War Sesquicentennial with day by day writings of the time, currently 1863.

Saturday, June 11th

Saw my friend Duncan Paul, of Canandaigua, to-day. The Second and Third Battalions were sent out to build a heavy line of breastworks in our rear, which was finished about noon and the troops returned to camp. These works are evidently intended to check the advance of the enemy if any attempt is made to follow our army when we fall back.
