[from the diary of Daniel D. Logan, younger brother of General Thomas M. Logan, formerly a Sgt, Co. B, 1st Special Battalion (Rightor's), now with the Hampton Legion]


    Tuesday – July 1st 1862
Rose this morning by Early day – fed our horses
& started to meet the general – found him upon the
battle field of last night, resting under some trees
& amid the bodies dead soldiers – I here took this
chance of paying the general off for June – Our troops  were
soon moving after the Enemy who were not far
ahead – We made a move towards their right wing it
but it was countermanded by noon when we moved into
Frazier’s farm
