March 21 1862 North Carolina camp notes and battle report
A Civil War diary entry describes marching from a four mile camp to Mill Creek to build a railroad bridge, with scenes of farms and orchards, a secessionist household, prices of staples, capture of a rebel horse, and reflections on officers and prisoner exchanges. The letter recalls Gen Mitchell and rail line work, discussing hardships, health, and a vivid battle report from nearby engagements and casualty lists.
