When the regiment came up the skirmishers rejoined it and the march was continued for three or four miles when the skirmishers were again sent out and advanced into the woods, where they halted and remained all night as pickets, the regiment going into camp at the edge of the woods. One day was spent at this point and then a march of five miles was made to Berry Hill, near Cole's Hill, within a mile or two of Brandy Station, where camp was established. Between the camps and the hill was a creek, along which was posted the picket line. A signal post was established on top of the hill and it was in communication with the cavalry outposts at Stephenburg. Here some ingenious Yank invented a new kind of food which was quite popular with the boys for a time. It was prepared by pounding hard bread to a flour—made by placing two or three crackers in a haversack bag, plac

The single gun which always saluted the arriving regiments gathered at once from their homes the noblest of her citizens to give aid to the tired soldiers. At Alexandria a day and a half were spent, and the men made the most of the time. A circus was showing there that day and in the afternoon nearly the entire regiment visited it, many also spending the evening at the theatre. When the regiment arrived at its old camp on Cole's Hill on March 20, the men found that it was occupied by the Seventh Michigan which had returned from its furlough some time before. They were obliged, therefore, to bivouack on top of the hill in the open air and found when they awoke on the following morning that there had been a snow storm and they were covered with several inches of it.
