“February 12, 1864. Officers played a game of base ball this afternoon.”

H.W. Howe “Diary of Henry Warren Howe, February 1864,” Passages from the Life of Henry Warren Howe ( Courier-Citizen, 1899), page 211. Provided by Jeff Kittel, May 12 2009. Not available on Google Books June 2009. Note: Can we find out more about the 30th and where it was in early 1864?

Comment

The 30th was stationed in Louisiana at this time. [ba] [? — Bruce Allardice?]

Query

Do we know where the 30th was in February 1864?  And why?

Are there any indications as to whether NY or MA or other game rules were employed?
