REMINISCENCES OF THE WAR,
As Recorded Day by Day ih tlie Diary of
Dr. James Iionlware?Continued.
Something- of the most interesting
bits of history are found in the private
diaries of old soldiers, who dotted
dawn at odd moments the happenings
of the day. The facts contained in
them are reliable because they are recorded
when they are fresh in the
mind. We publish below some extracts
from the diary j>f Dr. James
Boulware:
April 17th and 10th, 1SC2.
Thursday wc left our camp three
miles from Richmond aud had a warm,
dusty road to the city. We marched
through the city direct to Itockets
Landing and embarked for the Peninsular
on board the Steamer "Curtis
Peck" at half-past 11 o'clock a. m. and
landed at King's Landing at C p. m.,
having travelled about eighty miles?
had quite a smooth ride, though much
crowded. Nothing of interest was
observed except some fine looking
residences, &c. We marched six
*? AV^i. A%>,1 I
inilUS mat ui^uu anu nugu HJV
stopped (about 1 o'clock) more than
half of the boys had dropped out by
the wav and taken up quarters for the
night. I kept up with the command,
and Butler Alston and I had just laid
down when a night attack took place.
It sounded terrible to us (not being
accustomed to such sound). We were
called to eur arms, but were permitted
to lie down agaiu. We slept with accoutrements
all on, j et I slept soundly.
Friday, 18th, wo were marched to
ai.u fro, got requisite number of cartridges,
40 rounds, cleaned our guns
and rested for the evening.
19th. The men who had not reenlisted
were put in different commands
and had officers appointed over
them. I ran the blockade and <rot a
canteen of good whiskey, i nave ocen
detailed hospital steward to assist Dr.
Gaston in his duties.
19th. I made my breakfast and
dinner ou crackers alone and ate
heartiiy. Rations came by night and
supper was something else. Had inspection
this evening.
Sunday 20th. Rested well last night
and arose quite refreshed and glad to
see a quiet, beautiful Sabbath day.
But everything was soon astir, for we
had to move a mile farther towards
Yorktown. I was left at the old
camp with several sick who were
unable to walk. Skirmishing took
place in the night, the enemy endeavoring
to take a dam we held which
inundated a large extent of Jand
greatly strengthening oui position.
A good many were killed on both
sides. Our "forces filled the water
with their dead bodies.
21st. The brigade took position
three-quarters of a mile from the
breastworks. I had to walk one mile
this morning, fill out prescriptions of
Dr. G. for the Regimeut, get medicine
for my own sick aDd go back and cook
for them. Had to fry meat in a tin
plate; work up flour on the head of a
barrel and cook it 011 boards like
Johnny cake. It is raining very hard
and seems likely to continue 10 rain.
23d. Rain continues. I have moved
up to the regiment with my sick men.
There is continual firing from the gun00
boats.
(A page is here lost)
May 5th. At half-past C o'clock the
battle" commenced. I was about to
drink a cup of tea made in one of the
houses built for winter quarters when
the bullets besran to fall around us.
I was with the surgeon. Dr. Post
was hit on the head rendering him unfit
for duty that day. We carried him
to a house in the rear where the
wounded were taken. The artillery
.soon opened aud our quarters being
in direct range we were soon shelled
away from there. It commenced to
rain, but the firing increased and by
noon it was terrible. We soon drove
the enemy back on our right wing.
They came again aud were again
driven back. We took hundreds of
prisoners and three pieces of artillery,
our Regiment, 6th S. C., being on the
left were not engaged until late in the
afternoon. A rifle company was sent
eut as skirmishers and at the first fire
of the enemy's artillery Hugh Smith
and Lieut. Campbell were cut down.
We were forced to fall back, and on
regaining the ground, alas! poor
Smith was dead and Lieut. Campbell
soon after died. Night came leaving J
us in possession of the lield. We were I
busily engaged in carrying oil' the
wounded and administering to their
comfort until 2 o'clock that night.

The rain had been c*ming down all
day and we had to go ongreund where
thousands of infantry, artillery,
wagons and ambulances had been
running. To no one who had not the |
same experience can form a faiot idea J
of the place.
6th. Our men having had no rest I
for three nights were forced to lie
down in the mud on their arms. Just
before day they began the retreat,
having all of our wounded to fall in
the hands of the enemy. The retreat
wae well executed, but the mud was
awful, for remember we were the ,
rear of Johnston's army. When the ,
march begun every one "felt he could
not go five miles, but strange to say
we went sixteen miles without stopping
for the night. We had nothing
to eat except what we had put in our I
haversack four days before. Thefi
enemy took possession of the vacated
field early next meriting, then Wil- i
liamsburg, and followed" pretty close <
in our rear; our cavalry though kept ;
them at a respectful "distance. Sev- ,
eral surgeons of our Division went ;
back to wait 011 our wounded. <
Sunday 11th. We are moving slow- j
ly on. Passed a beautiful residence '
that I admired above all I have seen. 1

from our clmnlain. "W. K. l>0<r<?S. It ,
was chiefly on the similarity of our
contest anil that between David and .
Goliath?the hosts of Israel and the '
hosts of the Philistine. He exhorted
us to rtlv as David did on the Lord of
Hosts.
Mr. Ellison started liotnc this evening.
We have just received the mail
after being without for several weeks,
and I am sad to find no letter for me.
10th. Slept well last night and began
the duties of the day, but it soon
began to rain. 1 dislike rainy weather
for we have no tents, and while matching
and carrying wet blankets we slip
back almost as lar as we advance.
May 21st. Have just returned from
Richmond where 1 went to iind my
negro boy whom I sent from Yorktowh
side. (Jot no tidings of him.
Found everything very high. Ran the
Diockaue. ram <o cetus ror i id. coi
feo, 37 cts. tor sugar, 75 cts. qt. for
molasses, 50 cts. for thin cotton socks,
$1.50 fur a trifling skirt, $1.00 for a
cotton handkerchief, and $2.50 for my
dinner.
May 24th. We cemmeuced a hospital
in thi regiment; John Feaster
ami Feter Brown detailed as cooks;
1'ierson, (Jo. K, as nurse. l>r. Nye
came to camp and reported for duty.
Raining hard at this time. Have just
got hospital aftVus working smoothly
and hear we are ordered to *nove tomorrow.
Sunday 25th. Camp near Drur>'s
Bluff". Moved today about trvo miles,
fixed the hospital tents and heard a
good sermon from Billy Boggs. He
Ul'HWS YUSl ClOrtUS tu ileal niiii aim 10
worthy of such a crowd lie will
certaiuly do much good, for all seem
anxious to hear him. We have a choir
and have line ringing.
26th. Fixed up to visit Dairy's
Bluff, but a soldier can count on nothing.
The rumor is we are again to
move, probably around Richmond.
27th. Moved camp again this morning
to right of city on 0-mile road.
Dav very warm. Several soldiers
gave out but came up next day. Our
route led by a cemcterv?Oak G rovewhere
mostly South Carolinians and
Georgians are buried. The situation
is wcil chosen and beautifully laid oat
and planted witii trees of various kind.
It covers ten or trc elve acres. Most of
the graves seem fresh. Very le ?v have
marble headstoues, yet all have boards
with name, company, regiment and
Slate. So by referring to the keeper's
book any one may find the grave of a
relative or friend. I could not but
think as I passed, "Here lies buried
the hopes of many a dear frieud."
tii- went to iucmnonu touay
looking for Brother Frank's boy whom
we sent off sick from Yorktowu a
month ago. Found him in the African
hoapital in an unfrequented part of the
city. He was recovering fr?m an
attack of typhoid lever and was rejoiced
to sco me.
30th. Sent the boy home today by
Cassady who had been (Uncharged on
account of weak eyes.
31st. Last night we had as hard a
rain as I ever heard fall. The water
flooded nearly every bed in camp.
Aroused early this morning and ordered
to pack up for a march, leaving
most of the baggage behind. We had
no idea where we were going, but
after travelling a mile or two we
guessed our destination. We entered
the battle about 2 o'clock. Our boys
soon began to fall and were brought
to the rear. Those who were able
came themselves. 'Twas a sad sight,
for so many of our losom friends
trui-f lirnnorVif. hnrrihlv inntil.it.fifl.
b o'clock p. m. 6ur brigade lias
gone more than a mile driving the
enemy before them. Night came and
with it came silence, except groans of
the wounded and cries for help. The
wounded were not all brought in
antil late at night. I closed my eyes
for only one hour that night.
June 1st, Sunday. When the sun
arose we had begun our work of getting
oft* the wounded to York River
Itailroad. In two hours this work
was done and we betook ourselves to
the battle ground where occasional
firing was going on. Soon all was
quiet and remained so all day. The
day was quite warm. I lost "a great
many of my friends in the engagement.
Poor Jimmy Weir; I was
sorry to lose him. In J. M. Phinney
our regiment lost one of its best captains
and the company lost its all.

Tnno ."?nd. Returned to camp well
worn out ami having little to cat. I
wrote five letters today, of course
short, as I wished to give my correspondents
a sketch of what had been
done in the light.
3rd. Again ordered to march with
two (lays rations, ami thought wo
were in for another battle, but halted
on Charles City road and lay all
night in a drenching rain. I had the
good fortune to occupy a place in an
ambulance and kept dry. Next day
was cloudy and we remaiued in the
some position.
Oth Still in same place. 0<-cassionaliy
hear firing along the line of
pickets, but it amounted to nothing.
Sth. Tents brought, ordered to
pitch in a line field of clover. Our
horses fare well.
10th. Dr. Jordan sent to take
charge of regimental hospital and Dr.
Nye come to regiment.
2Gth. Everything has been quiet
for a week or so, but now we are
marching with three days rations.
Passed Oak Grove Cemetery and took
down the ilechanicsville road. Lay
all day long where we can hear the
battle going on across the Chickahominv.
After dark we moved down
and crossed the river?no sleep at all
that night.
27th. Early this morniug the fight
begau, but was soon hushed. We
then inarched on for several miles
following by the enemy closely ur.til
noon, when we halted, and in a few
hours the fight began in earnest. I
was in the rear at the brigade hospital.
Back went the enemy and back came
to as our wounded men. The battle
was dreadful, but not more so than
the battle of Seven Pines. The enemywere
driven back along the whole
line with but little cessation until
night put a stop to all firing. Now
came the busiest times for the surgeons.
Ambulance after ambulance came up
with its load until a two acre lot was
filled completely. We had few men
killed or wounded in the Gth, but the
rest of the brigade suffered vory much.
In the loss of Capt. Moore that company
(F) has suffered greatly. 1 was
up all night, as was Dr. Gaston, dressing
wounds of men from South Carolina,
Georgia, Mississippi and Texas.
2Sth. By sunrise Dr. Gaston was
called up and we found that there
were quite a number of wounded
from other brigades who had received
no attention as yet. I worked foi
hours upon them and afterwards assisted
Dr. Gaston in seven operations.
During the previous night 1 bad cut
out two grapestiot one and a ha!f
inches in diameter. We made coffee
(Yankee) and gave our wounded all
some and others also. The fields were
rich in coffee, sugar, rice, crackers
(superior,) medicines, blankets, oil
/^irttKe .rlnthfis and in fact
everything necessary for comfort. It
would be a treat for any one to revisit
the place where the last battle
was fought. The first abati'-s from
which the enemy were driven seemed
very strong, yet our men soon drove
them from it. They fell back upon
another and another abattis, but still
our boys pushed on, not giving them
time to make a stand, which they
seemed not too anxious t-j do. An
incident took place near there after
dark worth mentioning. It seems the
enemy had a strong battery, consisting
of thirteen pieces of artillery planted
to defend those breastworks. This
battery was captured by our forces
(a Virginia brigade.) Gen. McCall
and statf came galloping up in the
twilight, thinking he was among his
own troops, and complimented them
highly for their gallantry in holding
their position and saving the guns, etc.
He was politely informed of his mistake
and that he was a prisoner.
Several of his staff escaped, but tie
made the trip to Richmond where he
had been aiming to go for several
months.
Tnls fight did the enemy more harm
than any that had been fought heretofore.
A great amount of commissary,
hospital and quarter-master stores
were taken in this expedition. Our
boys who got through safe loaded
themselves with everything they
needed.
Mondav 30th. 18G2. On arriving at
camp last night I found all quiet. I
The regiment had only stopped tor a I
short time allowing the boys, tired as
they were, time to cook dinner, and
were marched down the Darbytown
road six miles. After getting some
sleep at camp 1 set out early to find
the brigade. 1 had scarcely caught up
when we received orders for a march
farther down the road. Dr. Owens,
who had charge of ambulance train,
being absent, I was put in charge and
conducted the train for miles down
Lhe road until we caught up with the
retreating Yankees. Our brigade was
in advance. We halted and the Oth
regiment was displayed as skirmishes.
A.i)Out two o'clock the fight began,
irtillerv oneninir the ball as usual.
We soon found that we were fighting
he same division that we drove troin
heir fortifications a few days before
>n the other side of the Chicahominy,.
riz., Porter's Division. The enemy
iad 21 pieces of artilley posted on a
ising ground in front of us, and all
eeuied to be let loo.?e upon us at once,
or it was far more dreadful than any
>f itie preceding fights. In the course I
>f half an hour our brave boys had
>ressed on and taken the batteries? ! J
;very one- but in a lew minutes they J
vere cverpowered by the enemy and
c-cnforcements failing to come up in
irr.e they were forced to give back, the
ncmy taking possession of the ground
nd recovering the artillery. Our
orccs meeting re-enlorceniei.ts lo<>
aids back, turned again upon the
nemy. drove them b:\ck in confasion,
et-iking even thing again and driving
lie ei.euiy b.iore their? for two miles,

cannon he had just asristed iu takiug
from the enemy; culur bearer J. W.
Liabb fell dead just before him along
with a host ot other noble boys. It {
was my business to conduct the train ^
of ambulances to and iVom the tield of
battle, ftiiich kept us bu?>y until late
at ninht. Among the number I came
across my intimate friend Jimmy
Matthews. Poor fellow, I watched i
over him that night as much as my 1
business would allow me. Next day
I saw him die and for the lirst time in
the war I shed tears of sorrow.
Tommy Bogg* was brought back by 1
his brother a corpse. 1 also carefully
watched John Stevenson and saw him
die, shot like Jimmy through the
abdomen. Late in the afternoon of
July l?t the battle began on Malvern
llill. I was assisting Dr. Gaston to
amputate a leg when the shells began
to lull vcrv uear. Mv mind was occu
- " ? ' -L - ll
pied anci l scarcely Knew any t>ueu
ha! fallen until I was shown them
aiierwards. Dr. Gaston made six
amputations that day. Generally the
stra^lers congregated about the different
hospitals, but wlieu the shelling
began they put out in every direction,
so we were not pestared by them any
more that day or the next. Our brigade
was held in reserve that day and
did not participate in the figlit, but
were directly under the tire. The
fight at this place (Malvern llill) is
said to have been more destructive to
our men than most of the other tights.
I will relate an incident: While the
heaviest fighting was going on, one of
our former congressmen was lying
sound nsieep on the table, or rather
the scafl'dd, we had !>:en amputating
on, drunk.
