1862 May 22 Camp Cold Harbor

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

May 22 Reveille was sounded t his morning at 10 o'clock
the general at 2 and the assembly at 3 o clock
Our march this morning was but three miles &
we encamped at an early hour at the
"Eleven Mile House" or as it was called "Camp
Cold Harbor".  It rained very hard to day
after we have gotten ourselves well tented
making the hours pass tediously away.
