1862 July 21 Camp near Jumping Branch, Va.


[from the diary of James Dinsmore Templeton of the 23rd Ohio]

Monday, July 21, 1862

Guard Mounting lay around useless
most of the forenoon
Did little this
afternoon sold my
watch to Crawford of
Co A for 15 dollars who
as the watch was in
poor condition was I
think a good bargain
The Bakery commenced
operation this day
Parade & long drill
Rained some last
night--mostly cloudy
to day

MSS 10317
