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

Sunday, May 29th.

Moved from Headquarters into the woods and camped until after noon, when the Brigade, under Col. Kitching, moved to the front. In about two hours orders came for the Second Battalion to join the Third Battalion of our regiment in the Second Corps, and we did so, and in a short time both battalions went out with the Second Corps batteries about eight miles towards Mechanicsville and halted for the night.
