"April 9 .- Went aboard the cars again at five o'clock P. M. and started south.
"April 10-1I .- Traveling through Mississippi. Arrived at Jackson at day- light, IIth, and remained all day. In the night our car ran off the track, nobody hurt. Rained hard all night.
"April 12 .- Still on the cars. Our car seems to be unlucky. Today the boxes caught fire and we had to leave our car and get on top of the others. Rode in that manner into Mobile, at II o'clock P. M. Very hot but pleasant day.
"April 13 .- Left the cars at four o'clock this morning and went aboard the steamer Jas. Battle. Started up the Mobile river about three o'clock P. M. Noticed two gunboats completed and another under way. They will not stand the banging.
"April 14 .- Going up the Alabama river ; very pretty, and lots of large plan- tations and nice residences along the banks.
"April 15 .- Still going up river. At Selma our Captains left 11s. We hated to have our Captain go, very bad. Arrived at Montgomery soon after dark. Had some sweet potatoes and a little beef today.
"April 16 .- Were taken off the boat this morning, and after a great deal of fussing were marched to our place of confinement, a cotton house and yard. Crowds of citizens flocked to see us.
"April 17-19 .- Passing away the time as best we can. Some playing ball, some pitching quoits, others playing cards and checkers. Very warm. Nothing but hard bread and pork to eat, rather poor grub for those that are worn out and nearly sick. We are all big enough to go barefoot nowadays. The boys will talk back to the guards or citizens when they talk mean.
"April 20 .- Sunday. Walking about some, but lying on my bunk of hay most of the time. Heard the church bells calling the people to church, but con- cluded not to go out myself.

PAST AND PRESENT OF ALLAMAKEE COUNTY
"April 21 .- Cold and rainy. Sitting by the fire whenever it did not rain so that we could not. Ich. sent the letter away for Waukon. G. Bailey went to hospital.
"April 22 .- Boys at their old games of ball, marbles, euchre, dominoes, etc. Read a Richmond paper of the 18th inst. Find some rich news in regard to the North. Occasionally get a city paper, but the people are not allowed to sell them to us. Not having half enough to eat.
"April 24 .- Today we have more rations. Drew 20 lbs. of fresh beef, and 20 lbs (light and corn) bread. Also a little rice and molasses. ( For 20 men. ) Everybody is at work making pipes of clay.
"April 25 .- Sold my penholder for one dollar of the Alabama, or Mont- gomery, scrip; so have a little spending money.
"April 26 to 30 .- Rumors that New Orleans has surrendered, or is about to surrender, to our fleet. We have plenty of visitors every day. Some of them talk big, but you can bet they don't make much off the Yankees. We have some good singers here which helps to pass away the time. If we could only know what was going on in America we would not care for the confinement so much.
"May I .- Lieut. Bliss of Michigan Second Battery was shot dead by one of the d-d cowardly guards while purchasing milk. Caused great excitement, amongst our men, and the guards were doubled.
"May 2 .- We commence again on our well, which we had dug about six feet deep a week ago. A boat load of prisoners, we suppose from Tuskaloosa, arrived last night. Am in hopes our Captain is among them.
"May 3 .- We were mistaken in regard to the prisoners. They were from Mobile, and part of the lot that came from Memphis with us. They proceeded to Macon, Ga. Geo. Bailey returned from hospital.
"May 4, Sunday .- We have preaching in our prison today by Lt. Winslow of the 58th Illinois. Another Lieut. made a strong prayer for union, and death or banishment to traitors. I am cook today. C. beef and rice to cook.
"May 5 .- The news came in this morning that we are exchanged, and are to leave this place within a week. Good news for us! we hardly dare credit it.
"May 6 .- Today the report of yesterday is contradicted by some of the rebel officers. We hardly know what to think of it. We hope, however. Hard bread and pork for rations. Don't suit us at all. Reports from Corinth and Rich- mond are favorable.
"May 7 .- We hear all sorts of reports today in regard to our being exchanged. Some say we will go only as far as Macon, others that we will go on to Norfolk. Can't believe anything we hear. Hard bread and fresh beef today. Pleasant day, and splendid evenings we have.
"May 8 .- The prospect of our leaving this place grows less every day. 9th. -No prospect of leaving here at all. 10th .- Beautiful moonlight evening, and we Waukon boys are together talking of home. 11th .- Preaching today by Lieut. Winslow. Five weeks today we have been prisoners of war.
"May 13 .- Worked with squad on the well two hours. Our rations today consisted of a piece of corn bread 2x4 for each man. That would starve men S0011.
"May 14 .- A newspaper was smuggled in today which gave an account of the battle of New Orleans, and the evacuation of Pensacola. Also good news
515
PAST AND PRESENT OF ALLAMAKEE COUNTY
from Richmond and Corinth. Small, poor rations again today in the shape of corn bread and peas.
"May 15 .-- We hear that Norfolk is taken and the Merrimac burned. Good news for prisoners. Corn bread and rice for rations; also fresh beef extra.
"May 16 .- A day of fasting and prayer in the C. S. A., and certainly it does not lack much of it in here, for all we draw is a little corn bread and poor beans.
"May 17 .- We hear that Mobile is taken and that Beauregard is leaving Corinth, or attempting to. Our men feel good over the news and think we will not stop here always.
"May 20 .- Capt. Troy and other rebel officers are making a descriptive list of all non-commissioned officers and privates, for what purpose we know not, but are told it is for the purpose of parolling, and that we will leave in a few days.
"May 21 .- Today we learn that all non-com. officers are to stay here with the commissioned. Rather tough news for me, but I guess I can stand it. Lt. Merrill went to hospital today.
"May 22 .-- An alphabetical roll of all privates has been made today, and verified by roll-call afterwards.
"May 24 .- The privates are signing their paroles today. Everything was got ready and the boys left the jail yard about six o'clock. I was glad to see them go, but hated to part with them.
"May 25 .- Our commissioned officers are having their descriptive rolls taken today. It looks like their being paroled too. We all expect to leave here tomor- row, for-somewhere-home, I hope. Prisoners seven weeks today.
"May 26 .- This morning we were told that we should not go until tomorrow morning. The remaining privates from the hospital leave in the morning, 39 in number.
"May 27 .- The remainder of the Tuscaloosa prisoners came into our prison today. They consist of commissioned and non-com. officers taken at Shiloh, and some Belmont boys, and some Fort Donelson. Also about forty loyal citizens of Tennessee. A pretty hard looking set the prisoners are, too. We are still here!
"May 28 .- A new officer takes command today. He has a list of all in here which he says he will start for Macon, Ga., on Friday morning, there to be paroled immediately. There is one prisoner here from Manassas.
"May 29 .- Lieut. Merrill died in hospital at 9 o'clock this morning. Andrews nursed him to the last. Lt. Marks also of the 12th Regt. died today in same place an hour later.
"May 30 .- Got aboard the cars (covered platform) at 7 A. M. Arrived at Columbus, Ga., at dark, where we changed cars. Very hot day.
"May 31 .- Arrived in Macon at 7 o'clock A. M., having been 24 hours trav- eling 190 miles. We were marched to the Fair Grounds, or 'Camp Oglethorpe' now. Found several of the 12th boys here. Like the looks of the place very well. Very hot day indeed.
"June 1 .- Strolling about our new prison some. Quite a pretty place, contain- ing about twelve acres. There is a nice spring, and a good well close by our quarters. There are shade trees all through the grounds, and I think it a healthy place.
516
PAST AND PRESENT OF ALLAMAKEE COUNTY
"June 2 .- Spent most of the day lying under the shade trees. Some Fort Donelson prisoners paroled from Chicago arrived here today. We hear that Richmond is in our possession !
"June 3 to 5 .- Boys mostly playing baseball, cricket, etc., and lying in the shade. Our living nowadays is white bread and flour gravy, which is better than we had at Montgomery. A battery drilling, also several companies of infantry. inside the prison grounds.
"June 6 .- Rebels are firing a salute in honor of Stonewall Jackson. They say he has routed Gen. Banks and is on his way to Baltimore, etc. Think he will run against a stone wall before he gets near Baltimore !
"June 8 .- Lying in the shade most of the time and nothing to do but think of home; nine weeks today we have been prisoners.

"June 18 .- Our Montgomery paroled boys arrived here about six o'clock this evening, from Griffin lastly. Pleased to see them, but sorry they had so poor luck. Hear that our Capt. is well.
"June 19 .- The day passed very quickly ; suppose because of our reinforce- ments. The guard lines have been drawn in so that we have less privilege than before. Six prisoners escaped the 17th.
( The entries along here do not vary much. "Nothing going on in particu- lar." "Lying around as usual." "Nothing to do and plenty of help." "Doing the same kind of work as yesterday." "At work at our old trade." "Conflicting reports from the front."> Prisoners escaping frequently.
"June 30 .- W'm. White died in hospital at 2 o'clock A. M.
"July 3 .- We hear good news from Richmond, Chattanooga, and Eastern Tennessee today. Only hope the reports are true. One of our men was shot by the guard for coming too near his beat.

"Aug. 6 to 15 .- Chills and fever every day. 8th .- Fifty-six political pris- oners left this morning for their homes; happy fellows! 13th .- Chill today is somewhat lighter; no medicine in the doctor's office !

"Aug. 17 to 22 .- Chills and fever every day, and very weak; 23d. the chill was lighter than common; 24th, chill and fever quite light and the last one I had. 27th, moved up to where our boys stop, so they can cure me up. Feet badly swelled. Hugh washes my feet and legs every night in hot water. (Refers to Hugh McCabe, the Good Samaritan.)
"Sept. I .- Milk toast and sweet potatoes I think are helping me. 2d, Sold my watch for $19.00, but hated to part with it. 5th, feel much better today.

"Oct. 17 .- Were moved twelve miles to Aikin's Landing, where we got aboard the John A. Warner as free men.
"Oct. 18 .- Went down river to Fortress Monroe."
This is the last entry in the diary. Note the coincidence of name of boat which welcomed them as free men, with that of the boat on which they started up the Tennessee river to Pittsburg Landing, on March 13th. The men reached Annapolis, Md., on the 26th, and went into camp. Hugh McCabe, who had kept up and nursed others through sickness, now felt it best to go to the hospital himself that night, and advised Frank to go with him, but he was so greatly elated with the sense of freedom that he mustered strength to march to the camp with his comrades, and during the night his spirit took its departure while they slept.
Interesting memoranda on blank pages of the diary include a list of the boys who go to hospital, and deaths; list of those taken prisoners, of Co. B .; and the wounded with them; 53 with the officers. A description of their quarters, ( At Montgomery, doubtless ) ; "we are confined in a cotton-house and yard. The yard is about 16x6 rods ; brick walls sixteen feet high at each end. On each side are buildings open to the yard. and about thirty feet deep. Our bunks are boards laid down on timbers and hay thrown onto them." Also the following price lists of supplies :
"Montgomery, Ala., May 12th, 1862 .- Sugar sells at 18 to 23 cents per lb. Molasses $1.25, and all other things in proportion.
