1862 June 7 near Richmond, Va.



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

June 7 Rainy day  An occasional gun from one of
our batteries reminded us that our gunners
were vigilant. The evacuation of Richmond
confidently predicted, but doubted by many.
