Diary of Alexander G. Downing; Company E, Eleventh Iowa Infantry
    

Downing’s Civil War Diary.–Alexander G. Downing.

Monday, 21st–Our camp is becoming more unhealthy all the time, and the odor from the battlefield at times is very disagreeable. This is the result of the heavy rains followed by warm weather.

Troops are arriving here every day and going on to the front. The army is advancing on Corinth, Mississippi, and we hear that there is almost continuous skirmishing between the outposts of the two armies.
