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

Wednesday July 27th.

Captain Gould was detailed to-day with his Co. K. to take charge of six Coehorn Mortars in a work on the line of the Eighteenth Corps, a little to the right of the point where it is rumored that a mine under the enemy’s works is being dug. The Second Corps drew out of the works yesterday, and it is reported that it has gone way around to the right. Heavy firing was heard in that direction this morning.
