Artillery and sharpshooters are placed along the banks of the river on the east so the Confederates dare not come close enough to interrupt the crossing. We also have gun- boats on the river, grim sentinels that carry conviction and confusion. May 19th, the Thirteenth corps will go into camp here and rest awhile. On the 20th we, the left wing of 70 HISTORY OF THE TWENTY-SECOND the Twenty-second Iowa, started on our march for the mouth of Red River, in the evening at six o'clock, and reached the... mouth of Red River at six in the morning of the 21st. We marched all night long, stopped here only long enough to get our breakfast, then marched on down the Mississippi, bound for Morganza's Bend. It is very warm, and we rest often by the way. We follow a bayou nearly all day, it seems to have been the bed of the river at an earlier day. We are in light marching order, and do not seem to feel the loss of sleep and w^eariness from the night's march. We went into camp on the 22nd, three miles above Morganza's Bend on the Mississippi river.
