Diary of a Young Officer–Josiah Marshall Favill (57th New York Infantry)

November 8th. We were ordered to Warrenton to-day to take part in the great review to-morrow of all the troops belonging to the Army of the Potomac, in honor of General McClellan, who is to retire in favor of General Burnside. Weather getting cold and cheerless.
