Shooting, Rumors of Wise—Rutherford B. Hayes

August 5, 2011

Diary and Letters of Rutherford Birchard Hayes

August 5.—Cloudy and showery and sunny at intervals this Monday morning. Went out shooting pistol with Adjutant C. W. Fisher. No good shooting by either. I did the worst, pistol dirty —cleaned it.—More couriers, more rumors of Wise down towards Greenbrier County.
