Diary of a Tar Heel Confederate Soldier By Louis Léon [53d North Carolina Regiment, infantry]

April 9—We were relieved this morning by the 32d Regiment, and marched to Bellevue, where the balance of our brigade is. At 11 o’clock to-night we were ordered to march. We went fifteen miles. There was a fight there to-day. Marched all night without resting.
