 Headquarters
Rodes' Division, near New Market, Va., November
23d. [1864]--The
ground was covered with snow
but in half an hour we were under arms and on the way
to meet [the enemy]... There were about 4000 of
them, all cavalry. When we struck them they made
a bold stand and attempted to charge, but we pressed the shot into them so
steadily and rapidly that they could not stand it, and began to retreat in
disorder which I pressed all the harder, and
drove them five miles... My men were pretty well used up with fatigue when
I discontinued the pursuit and returned to camp cold, hungry, and broken
down after my men had marched and waded twenty-four miles.

Wednesday
20th [November 1861, camp in Md.]--A
sad accident happened
to private Ferrero. . . through the carelessness of some person in
discharging
his musket, a ball passed through
Ferrero's Tent, wounding him in
the leg, he was carried
on a stretcher to the camp
hospital, and sometime afterwards
received his discharge from
the United States service.
Thursday 28th--Thanksgiving day at home all drills dispensed with, and the men permitted to leave the camp to spend the day, while those who could not afford it, had their Thanksgiving dinner in camp, of Government rations--Bean soup and hard bread. --John W. Jacques, USA |
