Battle of Gettysburg, 1863

Dear Journal,

It's been a weary morning here. General Winfield Scott Hancock came by and
talked to the officers for a while. I found out that we are to be positioned in
the center of our lines. I guess its a reasonably safe area since everyone is
saying that Lee is positioning his troops to the left and right of our line.

Hold on...Lee's army attacked our left flank! By God that's where Chamberlain
is holding at. I hope that they're all right. I look over and I see that some
of the men are rattled by this news. Hold steady boys! I wonder if they'd come
to the middle where we are. By God I hope so! Lets get this fight over with.
