Philip Cooke, diary
July 8, 1864
“When we marched through Frederick City and the citizens found out that we were out of rations, they promised to give us supper of which most of the men stood in need, as we had nothing to eat throughout the day. As soon as we stirred up the rebels and found that they were so close to town, it knocked the supper business out.”
