The Thirteenth New Hampshire spent a long and hard week of incessant picket duty in rifle pits, chopping wood for bridges and digging ditches for earthworks. The Thirteenth remained in position along their picket post in rifle pits along the Nansemond River near Jericho Point, two miles south of Suffolk.1
