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

Warrenton Junction, May 3d, 1864.

We had regimental inspection yesterday. Our muster rolls are nearly completed and other business in proper shape, #o we are nearly ready to take the field.

All sick and wounded have been sent to Washington, and we have orders to be ready to march at 7 o’clock tomorrow morning. I am inclined to think, from certain indications, the railroad is to be abandoned and we are to join Grant’s army in a determined effort to crush Lee’s force, and, by so doing, crush the Confederacy.
