Thursday, May 19, 1864

The Union army sent troops out this morning to draw out the Confederates.  The wagon train moved across the river all afternoon and into the evening.

The Confederate prisoners, numbering about 250, were brought down to the boat and prepared to cross the river.  They admitted they were whipped the other day, but thought they could take the Union army today.  However, there was no firing from either side today.
