1862 April 15

[from the diary of Captain Jonathan B. Hager of the 14th Indiana Infantry, as copied at a later date from the original]

April 15 Continuous & heavy firing to day. Orders were
received to be in readiness to march at a mo-

dition of the roads made the transportation of
the heavy siege guns almost impracticable--
