29 May 1862

Thursday, 29th Pleasant but quite warm. E.I.R.B. the books of Joel & Amos. We were aroused in the night by the report of cannon but no arrival of the rebels. At 10 A.M. heavy cannonading commenced on the left wing. We marched forward to the breast works which Hurlburt's divis. had built and remained there over night.
