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

June 28 — Another Sabbath has found me alive and well for which I feel very thankful and glorify my heavenly Master. Things were very quiet last night. I worked nearly all night planting a battery. Sharp shooters commenced operating as usual at daylight. Lieut. Clepes of Co. E was mortally wounded this morning. He was in the trenches. W. R. C.
