Diary of a Tar Heel Confederate Soldier By Louis Léon [53d North Carolina Regiment, infantry]

March 1—Raining hard. Left camp at 9 this morning, halted at dark nine miles from Madison Court House. Snowing tonight. We had a hard road to travel, and when we got to our destination the enemy had gone.
