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

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

Wednesday, 8th–I came off guard duty this morning at 9 o’clock. There was a hailstorm last night and everything looks nice and green, notwithstanding the fact that there has been no rain for two months. But it is hot and the corn has suffered a great deal. All the fields are planted to corn, as that was the surest way to get food for the rebel army.
