Waitt, Ernest Linden, History of the Nineteenth regiment, Massachusetts volunteer infantry , 1861-1865, Chapter 32: in pursuit of Lee. In camp at Morrisville. (search)
passed drearily enough, and on the morning of the fifth several details were occupied in burying the dead. The Nineteenth Massachusetts, First Minnesota and Seventh Michigan were sent out as skirmishers. They pressed forward, entered the rebel works on Seminary Ridge and found that the bird had flown. They returned and reported this fact. Within an hour, the Fifth and Sixth Corps were sent away in pursuit of Lee. The Eleventh and Twelfth followed in the afternoon and on the morning of July 6 the southward march of the Second Corps began, by way of the Taneytown Road. As the regiment filed out of the field at Gettysburg it was halted and an order from the President was read, announcing the fall of Vicksburg. The news was received with cheers and the men marched on with lighter hearts, feeling that the year of 1863 promised some decisive results in the prosecution of the war. That night was spent at Two Taverns and on the 7th march was resumed to Taneytown. Frederick City

rink. July 2nd. Marched until nearly sunset. July 3rd. Marched at daylight. Rations gave out at noon. Halted toward sunset on the bank of a river and camped for the night. July 4th. Marched until along in the forenoon when we arrived in Danville, where we were put into some old brick buildings and we have to go a few at a time to get a drink. At dark received a small piece of ham fat, about two inches square, but nothing to eat with it. Can hardly stand the pangs of hunger. July 6th. This morning marched to the railroad where we took baggage cars for Georgia. There were 56 men in one car. Arrived at Charlotte, N. C., about dark, left the cars and camped for the night in a field. July 8th. This morning took the cars again and rode all day, passing through a number of places in South Carolina, the last being Columbia. We stopped a short distance outside the city. July 9th. This forenoon we started again at 11 o'clock, with 50 men in a carload and road all day
