Several diaries were kept by the boys in the raid^s. I knowof but one by a commissioned officer. But a pocket diary car-ried over the heart after a long days fight, or a march, receivedthe impressions of the writer, as he lay tired and hungry by thefire — impressions hot with enthusiasm and radiant with the joyof battle. I wish more of them could be pul)lished, for they will help todo justice to the motives and the conduct of those Marylanderswho left their homes
