Robert M. Magill – Personal Reminiscences of a Confederate Soldier Boy, 39th Georgia Regiment of Infantry
    

Robert M. McGill

Monday, 26th.—I am more tired this morning than when I went to bed last night. W. E. Story, Adison Ramsey and myself, undertook to sleep together lengthwise of the hill. Had to lay a pole at the lower side to keep from rolling down the hill; but we soon found that would not pay the one against the pole, as he was being well pressed by the other two; so we got up and put a pool between each one, and slept together anyway; that is, if you call sleeping with a pole between us sleeping together. Remained at Gap until June 6th, with nothing to disturb us except lying in line of battle one night.
