Civil War
Twenty Fourth Regiment Infantry
On the 28lh day of June, 1863, we marched from Middleton, Md., to near Frederick City, and on the 29th we marched to Emmettsburg. The latter was a long march, in which the troops suffered much from fatigue. On the 30th day of June we marched three or four miles and bivouacked near Marsh Creek.
"At an early hour on the 1st day of July we marched in the direction of Gettysburg, distant six or seven miles. The report of artillery was soon heard in the direction of this place, which indicated that our cavalry had already engaged the enemy.
