[March 3] “Went on shore at 10 ½ o’clock this morning and played base ball for about 3 hours. At 3 p.m. practiced with revolver.”

[March 10] “Went out in the afternoon and exercised my men in company drill. Played a game of ball.”

J. Jones and E. Keuchel, eds., Civil War Marine: a Diary of the Red River Expedition, 1864 (US Marine Corps, 1975) page 35. Provided by Jeff Kittel, May 12, 2009.
