of works thrown up, the left, where
we lay reaching to the corner of a
southerner's dooryard and in which
he will have to look for his board
fence and cane mill. The large, nice
house is deserted and everything TAX
en- away and we now use it for our
wounded and for headquarters. The
14th Kentucky is reported TO have
lost AS and a New York regiment
quite heavily also. We are about
three miles south of Kennesaw
Mountain, FIVE miles from Marietta
and ten miles from Chattahocha river.
We marched about four miles today.
Tonight we expect hot work and little
rest. as it is reported that the rebels
are bound to break out here, but we
are getting we'll prepared for them
and every hour makes our lines
stronger. At nine o'clock we lay
down with traps all on, keeping one
man of each company to watch. The
rebels are reported to have left two
stands of colors on the field and at
dark were watched over by line of
rebels on one side and Yanks on the
other, neither daring to go after
them.
Thursday, June %, 1864.
Contrary to our expectation the
night passed off very quietly with no
alarms and we rested we'll This
morning all is still and quiet, and it
is supposed the rebels have again
retreated to get little better hold
suppose. About nine o'clock some
firing was heard to our left and in
front. / wrote until $3.50, then drew
beef, divided it and got some over a
fire to cook, and was then called on to
go after rations, which | did, draw
ing for four days, which / divided,
ate dinner, and then came the order
started off, moving by the right flank
and going around i'm front, falling in
to line about one-fourth mile in front
and to the left of where we started
We were then told to go to terrifying
our position, which we did, working
like tigers and bringing some large,
heavy oak timbers that lay a short
distance back. We worked and sweat
away until 3:45 p. m, getting our
position fortified in pretty good
shape, when the order came to fall
in again, and we moved on again
about eighty rods, formed in line and
went to work again collecting logs
and rails and shoveling dirt. We
were now in sight of the enemies
works and not more than eighty rods
distant, while on our left our line
was much nearer, so we thought we
would not be called on to go any far
Their and went to work in good earnest
and by dark had quite a respectable
line of works. There was little
'shirmish firing in front and one of
our regiment was wounded. The
rebels can be seen busily shoveling on
their line in front, but we let them
alone as spades are much more harm
less than muskets. Two men are
kept on the lookout, while the rest of
the company lay quiet just in the
rear of the ditch to sleep. This was
pleasant day.

a kind of quicksand so the wet wealth
er does not make it very muddy. 1t
is very soft for horses and artillery,
however. Sharp musket firing after
dark a mile or so to our left, but all
quiet directly in front.
Tuesday, June 81, 1864.
We were awakened about three
o'clock with orders to pack up all but
our tents and be ready to start at
daylight. After doing everything
kept thus employed all day, as no
ter to Asa and in the afternoon drew
and divided cooked beef. Slept lit
tie. At night we drew one days ra-
tons of whiskey, which made to boys
feel well. Rainy most all day. There
is considerable firing to our left to-
day, sometimes getting nearly in our
front.
Wednesday, June %, 1864.
We were not disturbed last night
or this morning, but got up at 4.30
and ate breakfast, then | cleaned my
gun, then boiled my clothes and got
them out a little, but before i got
blew and the order came to pack up.
so putting on the wet shirt, pants and
socks, started off. We soon stopped
and then | stood in the sun until my
clothes were dry. About noon we
started on going east and south on
the Sandtown road, which soon bore
around to the east and northeast, and
crossing a creek on new bridge,
built by our engineer battalion, we
went up through line of works and
formed in line in the woods to the left
of the road. Here the boys had time
to make coffee and eat and at 4:3O we
fell in again and moved by the left
flank to position on the right of the
10th A. c., about half mile distant,
where we formed line running near
ly north and south and were told that
we might go to building breastworks,
which we soon concluded to do, as
brisk firing had commenced just to
our left. We brought rails and logs
and went to shoveling in good earnest,
while the firing grew hotter and hot
ter, accompanied by the veil of q
rebel charge and the loud report of
our batteries. The bullets occasion
ally whisked past us, but we worked
on, sweating like rain, stopping only
occasionally to look at wounded or
dead man as they were brought i'm or
a rebel prisoner. The rebel columns
were soon stopped and the firing died
away, excepting the artillery, which
kept sending the over missile to pre-
vent their getting into position near
Dy. by dark we had a very good line
