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

Wednesday, July 13th.

After having been in the field hospital ever since Monday, the 11th, I rejoined my company to-day, feeling somewhat better for the rest and treatment I have had, but still very weak. It continues very hot and the dust is floating in clouds about us, and the deaths from sunstroke continue to be numerous. I found my company still with the infantry on the firing lines in the woods, but was rejoiced to learn that we were, or were to be, transferred to the Siege Train, and a preparatory inspection was had.
