one mile and half.
When General Mcclellan had taken position
for the marching salute, and the order was
given on the right to wheel by companies, the
word passed rapidly down the line. Being
near the rear, discovered presently it, too
was wheeling, though the order had to pass
down by successive stages. The time could
not have exceeded five minutes from the time
the order was given at the head of the line til
the rear was under march. 1t was unprece
