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

Wednesday, May 25th.

At seven this morning Kitchings Brigade moved off toward the left, while our Battalion was sent to the right. Lively skirmishing occurred in our front, and at half-past three o’clock there was some artillery firing on our left, but there was very little close fighting. The cavalry came in from a raid, and it was rumored that the Sixth Corps had torn up the railroad track from Hanover Junction to Gordonsville. Towards night we were drawn in and sent out on picket along the North Anna.
