1862 May 26 Camp Bullock near New Bern, N.C.

[from the diary of Jesse Calvin Spaulding, Co. F, 25th Massachusetts]

Monday
May 26

Went on picket right down back
of the house with Partridge, Scollay,
and Corporal Wood of Col D.  Built a rail
shanty.  Rainy but we covered it with
rubber blankets so that it kept us dry.
