description: Bailey George McClelen, Company D, 10th Alabama, wrote of the warfare he knew so well. Following the Battle of Second Manassas, McClelen walked the killing field, remembering the sight, smell, and sickness that had accompanied his army's victory there.With his comrades, McClelen fought the Yankees almost as incidental to the rigors of cold, heat, poor food, and lack of supplies with which he had to contend. From June 1861, until Lee's surrender April 1865, McClelen served in the 10th Alabama, joining in combat at Antietam, Gettysburg, and other major battles. He was wounded twice and captured once.
