Civil War
FOURTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
The next move of the army was made January 20th, 1663, under the command of General Burnside. When but a few miles from camp the order was countermanded and the army resumed the position as before. The roads and bad weather prevented the army from moving. We were in camp near Falmouth until May 1st, 1863, when the army moved under the command of General Hooker. The regiment was commanded by Colonel H. H. Jefferds, who was lately promoted; the command carried eight days' rations in haversacks and knapsacks, and moved to Chancellorsville, Virginia, via Keily's Ford.
