Text | From the Civil War journal of James B. Lockney, Wisconsin 28th Regiment. "In Camp near Little Rock. Ark Wednesday Sept 30, 1863. Today was rainy in the A.M. & drizzled some P.M. The boys had a game of Wicket the first time I ever saw it played. They used clubs of hurdles and a large ball about 6 in. in diameter. Some of the Officers took part & the game passed off quietly." Note that the camp was probably in what is now the Little Rock city limits. [Caleb Hardwick] |
