A Soldier's Wartime Letter from Camp Woon 1862
An extensive camp diary from Camp Woon, January 1862, recounts marching delays, picket scares, and mudbound duties near Bowling Green. It notes clothing variety in regiments, Enfield rifles, and preparations for forward movement amid harsh winter conditions. The piece preserves personal recollections of comrades, improvised fortifications, and reflections on war's impact on soldiers and families.
