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

Tuesday, June 7th.

There was a good deal of desultory musketry last night, but the day was quiet, each side apparently watching the other. A flag of truce was sent out and the body of Col. McMahon, of the 164th N. Y., among others killed on the 3rd, was recovered. His features were not recognizable, his pockets were rifled and the buttons were cut from his uniform.
