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

“I am thinking some of enlisting and going to war.”–Alexander G. Downing.

Friday, 16th–I, with Tom Toly, mowed grass all day. Swinging the scythe was hard work for me and I did not cut as wide a swath as Tom did. Father went to Tipton in the afternoon and upon his return told us the war news. I am thinking some of enlisting and going to war.
