Journal Entry #6
Dear Journal, My name is Richard Bridges.
April 30, 1863
A lot has happened over the past few months and I've never been more on edge. Word is that Ulysses S. Grant has troops headed our way. Folks says they're South of us right now. We just fired up a union ship that passed by a couple of days ago, but it seemed to do little to the troops other than hit som eof the supplies. We're outnumbered, hungry, and we're running out safe shelter. The general says it would be best if we camped out on the hillside to avoid the gunfire that is sure to be coming our way by sunrise. Whatever we have coming, we are spiritually and emotionally prepared and ready to finally have our victory!
