Creed T. Davis: May 6, 1864

Diary of Creed T. Davis, Private Second Company Richmond Howitzers.

—On the march again. We are within four miles of Winchester. Skirmishing in front of us. We have been pressing the enemy closely all day. Saw a good many of their dead lying on the roadside. We also passed many smoking ruins. The Yankees burn all barns, hay-stacks, etc., that happen in their way. Poor Valley ! ! Firing heard in the direction of Winchester. Gen. Early is in the neighborhood.
