Blue Ridge.
Before crossing the Potomac an order was is
sued by Gen. Lee that private property
should be touched. Citizens of Maryland were
informed that such supplies the army need

State. If they failed to bring in such supplies
they would be seized under authority, and any
article necessary for the support OF the army
if concealed, would be coniscated, if discovered.
