November 16, 1863. General inspection with knapsacks, haversacks, etc. November 18, 1863. On division and corps drill and review. November 21, 1863. Rained all day. Laid abed nearly all the time, as we have nothing but shelter tents with both ends open and it is cold and uncomfortable. On the 24th, the camp was broken, but as it rained so heavily the regiment became stuck in the mud after a march of half a mile and was compelled to return to camp. The next start was made on the 26th, when the movement to the Rapidan began,--the last movement of an eventful year. The regiment marched to Germania Ford on the Rapidan and, after some delay, crossed without opposition. Here were found extensive earthworks which the rebels had evacuated. After resting for a short time, the tramp was resumed to near Flat Run church about three miles from the river and bivouac was made for the night. On the 27th (Thanksgiving Day) march was resumed by the brigade at sunrise and continued u

e Fifth Corps, who occupied the front line of works, and who had been heavily engaged all day. Remained there until 7 P. M. exposed to the enemy's shells, some of which exploded in the brigade, and at that hour proceeded to the camp vacated on the 26th, being on the move during that time, and the men were thoroughly tired out by their four days operations, during which they marched by day and worked by night. Col. Wass had been mustered out on the 28th, his term of service having expired, andbut, under cover of the night, returned and ascended the James, arriving at Deep Bottom at midnight, and at 7 A. M. of the 14th, the men debarked. After a short rest the regiment moved off in brigade and occupied the ground of the fight of the 26th ult., but were almost immediately sent forward to the support of the First Division which were engaging the enemy. The Nineteenth received its share of the shells from the enemy, which were in force at Strawberry Plains, or Deep Bottom Run. The me

under arms, and the remainder were usually absorbed by heavy picket or fatigue details. Artillery firing took place daily, but owing to the protection afforded by traverses and bomb proofs (erected by the men under command of Col. Rice, commanding the garrison) they lost but one man killed and one wounded while on the line. Being relieved at Fort Rice on the 24th of October, the men went to the rear and massed in division, the Division then being commanded by Gen. Egan. At 2 P. M. of the 26th they went upon a reconnoissance upon the left; halted and bivouacked for the night on the old battle ground of the Fifth Corps, on the Welden Road. About 3 A. M. of the 27th the march was resumed and shortly after daylight came upon the enemy in force and intrenched. The Division charged and drove them out of their works in haste. The First Brigade formed in line of battle and the Nineteenth was deployed as skirmishers when the whole advanced. The men skirmished all the morning and advanc

lines of Lee which were carried and held with small loss. The Nineteenth Massachusetts regiment, for the first time in its history, became the spectators of a great action. The First and Second Divisions being held in reserve, no loss was sustained by this regiment, which supported, for the greater part of the day, the Tenth Massachusetts Battery. At dark, the Brigade moved out on the cross roads about two miles. At 11 P. M. returned to the works and lay on their arms until 3 A. M. of the 26th, when they returned to camp and occupied their old quarters. On the night of the 28th it became known that the Army of the Potomac would move on the enemy's works the following day. That night the regiment went out on picket upon the advanced line near Hatcher's Run, occupying ground held by the enemy on the morning of the 25th. At 9 A. M. of the 29th the regiment moved to join the corps, being relieved by the One Hundredth New York and Eleventh Maine of the Fourth Corps. At 11 A. M. rej
