Sunday, April 5, 1863
The Thirteenth New Hampshire spent most of their week in shelter or in tents, as stormy weather brought rain, snow, and wind to their camp. On Friday a late-season snowstorm deposited nearly six inches of snow. Some men were needed for picket duty, and the extreme weather heightened the difficulty of their tasks. This evening the Thirteenth took part in a dress parade.1
