Charles C. Blacknall .--Part 5, On Camp Life: "Drilling -- Drilling, Drilling"

After Manassas, Charles and his company spent a lot of time in camp.  He described his daily regimen as "dull and monotonous, time occupied principally in drilling, eating, drilling, studying and reciting Tactics (which by the way I don't at all fancy) eating again and then drilling -- drilling, drilling."

The 13th North Carolina was redesignated the 23rd North Carolina.

The Confederate Army then began having serious losses due to illness.
