t of this ran a creek, which, during the heavy rains, was impassable. In consequence of this a bridge was thrown across and the men once more prepared for winter by logging up the tents. The commissary department procured iron shields for the tops of the ovens and a regimental bakery was built, Levi Woofindale, of Co. B, being appointed regimental baker. By this appointment the men profited greatly, being supplied with soft bread of an excellent quality and often hot from the oven. On Sundays baked beans were served and, in exchange for cash, the men could get brown bread and ginger bread. After Gen. Hooker took command the regiments were excellently provided for. Many stricken ones of earlier fields returned to the regiment and the wasted ranks gradually became better filled. In addition to doing provost duty in the town, the regiment had to picket the river. This made the duty constant and the men were either on provost duty in the town or at picket duty at the river eve

Chapter 35: camp at Cole's Hill. Re-enlistment. On the 7th of the month the regiment moved to a point three and one half miles southeast of Brandy Station, on the south side of Cole's Hill and halted to await the rebuilding of the railroad which the rebels had destroyed. The men began putting up log houses, preparatory to a winter's stay in camp and many furloughs were issued. December 9, 1863. Commenced our houses today. Cannot get along very fast, as we have but one axe for seven men. However, we have got all our logs up. December 10, 1863. Plastered up the chinks with mud, making our house quite tight. Our fire place and door will be in front. December 11, 1863. Built our fire-place today. Policing tonight on account of inspection tomorrow morning at nine o'clock. While encamped at Cole's Hill at this time, the question of re-enlistment was discussed, in all its forms, by the veterans. The memoirs of Captain Adams give interesting little anecdotes reg

ed that these men at least, would be allowed to bivouac where they were but shortly after dark Company C was again sent into the woods in front of the breastworks to do picket duty for another night. The next three days were days of watchfulness and there were many skirmishes. The regiment was constantly on the move. The men became fatigued, and there were many prostrations by the heat, shifting about as they did in the vicinity of Todd's Tavern and Spottsylvania. At 2.30 P. M. of the 7th the regiment was ordered out on the skirmish line and after advancing about a mile discovered the enemy posted in a dense thicket and immediately became engaged and after fighting all the afternoon, drove them nearly a mile, and at 9 P. M. returned, under orders, to the works, having nine men wounded. Burnside's corps arrived late that afternoon. Sabbath, May 8th. Our troops were moving toward Spottsylvania Court House. Being out in picket about noon we were drawn in and started after a

firing. The videttes of the regiment in front were connected with another line of works during the day. The men were then within speaking distance of the rebels and there was much conversation between them. Firing began on the left during the evening and the enemy evidently believed that an attack was to be made on their centre for they opened with musketry all along the line, keeping it up for some time. The Union battery opened up on them eventually and compelled them to stop. On the 7th a truce was entered into for the purpose of burying the dead, killed in the charge of four days previous. Firing ceased and both Yanks and Rebs met, shook hands, exchanged papers, tobacco, coffee, sugar, etc. The evening and night were spent quietly and on the following day the regiment received 11 recruits. The truce was kept up until the morning of the 9th, when firing was resumed with spirit, the regiment losing six men wounded. On the 10th it lost two men by the enemy's sharpshooters

Camped at 10.50 and, next morning, at 7 A. M., moved again, halting at Jettsville. On the 5th the division camped at dark at Burkesville. On the 6th they marched until 9. A. M.
