1862 May 14 between Yorktown and Richmond, Va.

[from the diary of Jonathan Hager of the 14th U.S. Regulars, as copied at a later date]

By the next morning all this immense
army had moved & the plain was deserted.
Those who were left amused themselves at the
expense of some rebel prisoners that had re-
cently been taken & were to be sent to Yorktown.
