1862 July 6 Warrenton, Va.

[from the diary of Ephraim Wood, Co. C, 13th Massachusetts]


Sunday        July 6th /62
     The warmest day I think that we
have had.  I went to a brook and
had a bath, after inspection.  Also
got all the Cherries that I wanted.
I went down to Warrenton
It is a very pretty place about
as large as Martinsburg.
There is a great many beautiful
Residences in the Town.
Most of the Women seem to
be dress in mourning.
