1862 April 18
[from the diary of Captain Jonathan B. Hager of the 14th U. S. Regulars, as copied at a later date from the original]
April 18. This was Good Friday, But little regard was
paid to its character by the rebels. firing
was kept up by them most industriously. I
rather fear I worked myself this day. An
unusual thing especially on good Friday. I
hope heaven to Conquer all such hubris
in time.
