the mine run campaign

I have become interested in the Mine Run Campaign of Nov-Dec 1863. I am examining the coverage by four NY and Philadephia newspapers. If anyone is interested in the material I find, please contact me.

I would be very interested if you come across any personal quotes from Soldiers. Much appreciation for you research.

Jeffrey William Hunt's book on the campaign should be out in the near future. His previous three on the post-Gettysburg campaigns have all been excellent.

Priv. Heyward Emmell 7th NJ- Nov. 30, 1863- Cold. I suffer much for the need of a blanket. Expected to charge on rebels works this noon but the order was countermanded as the position the rebels hold can not be taken without a great sacrifice of life. It is awfully cold, you can see the rebels in front of us running up & down in front of their works wrapped in blankets to keep warm. To night we go back to our ambulances which are parked on the plank road.
Dec 1, 1863- Very, very cold. remain quiet until night and then march to Ely's Ford. It is so cold that officers have to get off their horses & walk to keep warm.
