 New
Market [Va.], Oct. 20th [1864]--The Yankee
Cavalry charged and completely routed
our men .... It was the hardest day's work
I ever engaged in,,--trying
to rally the men. Took our flags at
different
times, begging, commanding,
entreating the men to rally--would
ride up and down the lines, beseeching
them by all they held sacred and dear, to stop and
fight, but without any success. I don't
mean my Brigade only, but all .... The only
salvation for this army and the country
will be to inflict severe punishment on
all who fail to discharge their duty. There will be a general Court
Martial this afternoon, and all delinquents
will be tried.
--Bryan Grimes, CSA |
Monday
October 21st [1861, battle of Ball's Bluff
Va.]--Now we
understood why our march
was hurried, it was to reinforce Stone's
Division in case of an attack the next
day; we willingly quickened our speed,
all along the road, men in
a state of almost nudity
some with nothing more than,
a blanket throwed over
their shoulders, still others
barefooted, suffering from
the cold, having swam the Potomac, near Conrad's Ferry, to prevent
their being taken prisoners by the
rebels, and they were going as fast as possible
to Poolesville, some of them being badly wounded.
--John W. Jacques, USA |
