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

Tuesday, June 14th.

A detail of a thousand men from the regiment was made this morning to go to the river near the Charles City Court House, which had been burned, and cut a way for the trains to the pontoon bridge and the boat landings, and was engaged in this work pretty much all day. The country about here is very attractive, perhaps the most so of any part of Virginia which we have traversed.
