	Three Paths to Gettysburg
		During the time shortly after the battle of First Bull Run, especially when they were in Washington, the discontent of the men in the regiment was at a peak, especially when they were in Washington for about two weeks.
		The months of hard work and exposure in the swamps; the drinking of impure water, additionally polluted by the drainage from the camp and the battlefield, where thousands of dead were buried (not to mention dead horses and mules everywhere) – had done their work, a more deadly work than the enemy’s bullets.
		But the brunt of the battle had then passed, and although firing was kept up between our line at the edge of a wood and the rebel line within the wood, no further serious attack was made by the rebels, and darkness soon substantially closed the conflict.
