facs="https://leaf.bucknell.edu/sites/default/files/2026-01/diary78.jpg"/> <dateline><date when="1862-06-21">June 21. Saturday 1862</date>. </dateline> <p>It was a <name type="weather">warm</name> <name type="weather">pleasant</name> day. <persName key="Sigfried" type="lieutenant">Lt Col Joshua K Sigfried</persName> <orgName type="military">48 P</orgName>. came here to make his <objectName type="readible">affidavit</objectName> for back pay a very pleasant gentlemanly man. There are many good things happen in camp that need the surroundings to fully appreciate. <persName key="Bachenheimer" type="private">Bachenheimer</persName> is a little fellow in my company, they call him a Jew - he is a printer by trade, and corresponded for a <placeName type="city">Scranton</placeName> <objectName type="readible">paper</objectName>. His bravery is rather doubtful as in our battles he always got tired and lagged. He is the butt of his mess & they torment him about his <objectName type="readible">correspondence</objectName> especially - and about sketching his various scenes - which is especially pointed because he was never present. Today, some of his men came into his <objectName type="equipment">tent</objectName> and said, “<persName key="Bachenheimer" type="private">Bachenheimer</persName> made one mistake in his sketch of the review and <objectName type="equipment">sword</objectName> presentation. Bachy, as they call him, said nothing, but one of course asked What it was - Why he has sketched <persName key="Burnside" type="general">Gen Burnside</persName> with hair on his head. <persName key="Burnside" type="general">Gen Burnside</persName> is bald. We all have our hair cut very short, and some show very considerable baldness, as my own for instance, And the saying is, that one has his hair cut like <persName key="Burnside" type="general">Gen Burnside</persName>. <persName key="Arnold" type="private"> George Arnold </persName>leader of our Band is full of fun. His imitation of the Irish is rich. He wears his mustache, about the size of a <objectName type="nature">calfs</objectName> tail, and makes a very odd appearance. He said he wore whiskers in <placeName type="city">Norristown</placeName>. An old fellow then, who loved to get off a good theory on others but didn’t on himself met him one day, says he <persName key="Arnold" type="private">George</persName> - get shaved - why - oh you're a good looking man but youlook ridiculous you ought to have a clean face like me - come I’ll pay for a shave - well come along says <persName key="Arnold" type="private ">George</persName> - And as they were going along <persName key="Arnold" type="private">George</persName> asked him why he disliked his whiskers - Why, says the old fellow, you look so much like as if you had swallowed a jackass, and left the <objectName type="nature">tail</objectName> stick out. Well, says <persName key="Arnold" type="private">George</persName>, do you know what your clean shaved face looks like, No, what? Why you look as if you had swallowed a <objectName type="nature">tail</objectName> and left the jackass stick out. The old man stopped - thought while - Well I’ll treat <persName key="Arnold" type="private">George</persName>.</p> </div> </body> </text> </TEI>
