War diary and letters of Stephen Minot Weld

Monday, August 1. — We started at 4 A.M. and marched to the depot of the Petersburg & Danville R.R. where we were put on cars, and started off for Danville at 6.30 o’clock. All along the road we saw traces of Wilson’s raid. At Burkesville Junction we were delayed until late in the evening, on account of a train having been thrown off the track.
