1862 July 15 CampGreen Meadows, Va.

 [from the diary of Charles Hay of the 23rd Ohio]

                            Camp Green Meadows, July 15th, 1862.
     Marched from Flat Top today, and rejoined
the Reg’t at this place, which has been
honored with such a neat=sounding, romantic
name, and not undeservingly, if fields thickly
covered with verdure, nearly surrounded by
forests of tall oak and chestnut, with hedges
of blackberry and whortleberry adjacent, do not
belie such @ nomenclature.
