Civil War Diary kept by W. R. Clack, Co. B, 43rd Regiment, Tennessee Volunteers.

June 19 — We left the trenches at daylight this morning and came back to our old position in the hollow. Things are tolerably quiet this morning — some sharp shooting going on 7 o’clock p.m. — all passed off tolerably quiet today. We commenced drawing flour today. WRC
