cral Jackson caused them to go wild
and bubble over. Gcucral Lee was nv
ideal of Il perfect man, man who
passed from hi, cradle to his grave.
without spot or blcmish; in other
words, there was nothing small about
him but his little fingers. When
mounted on his favoritc battle borsc,
Traveller" he made superb picture.
Traveller shared the admiration and
affection Of the soldiers with his fa-
nous rider, and his name will be hand
ed down TO generations yet unborn.
He was very dark iron gray, tall and
we'll proportioned, with beautiful
head and neck. l never saw him
moving out of a walk. The general
rode him home after the surrender at
Appomattox and at the general s death
~ followed the hcarse to the grave
with saddle and holsters, led by an
ex.Confederatc soldier on either side
Of him. At his death his ride was
prepared by taxidcrmis. and today
at Lexington, Va, Traveller and Lit
tie Sorrel, Jackson's famous war
horse, stand side by side, as natural
as in life. 1t has been nearly thirty
three years ago since l saw our two
most famous generals mounted on
their favorite war stecds, but the
sight of those famous horses would
cause me to shed tears quicker than
anything else on this green earth.
Late in the evening Tigc Anderson $
brigade again hit the grit, crossing
Cool Run at the brick house, and
marching to Sudlcy's mills on Bull
Run. where we bivouackcd for the
night. Early on the morning of Sep
teinbcr lst we crossed Bull Run and
took up the line Of march on the trail
or flank OF the enemy, keeping up
lively tramp throughout the day.
About sunset the regiments in the
brigade filed out Of the road to our
right. just after we broke ranks
there was heavy shower Of rain and
while still raining we heard TO our
right the music of small arms, said to
have been in General Drayton's Geor-
gia brigade. The order was to fall in,
arms we're taken and We struck out at
the double quick down the road, in
the direction which we had been
marching before We were halted for
the night.
We bad not gone far before we
could hear in the distance deep roar of
cannon and muskets, and, as some of
the boys expressed it, hell had broke
loose again. We went over mile,
when we were halted in lane and
ordered by the right flank. Jumping
the fence, We moved in line of battle
through a field. The roar Of battle
was to our left, we being on Jackson
right. In our front the Fcdcrals had
several batteries Of artillery and gave
us what Teddy gave the drum. We
certainly stuck mighty close to Moth
cr Earth while the shells were trying
to lop off the tree tops over our heads.
We could not decide which was most
10 be feared, the shells or the limbs
that came crashing down. We re-
maincd there for some time under fire.
Night had spread her mantle over the
earth; it was pitch dark, and the
flashes Of light from the bursting
shells made it look like the regions of
the lost. But ali things come to and
end. About 10 o'clock, after quiet
had again resumed her sway, the
brigade was marched back to the road,
where we built fires with fence rails
and dried our wet clothing, remaining
there the remainder of the night.
Jackson had again overtaken General
Pope, and had right lively battle
with his forces at place called Ok
Hill, near Fairfax Court House. About
! o'clock I was ordered by Lieutenant
Hutson to take detail Of men and 90
back after our baggage where We had
first stopped for the night.
On our arrival at the camp we found
a good many stragglers with their
camp fires. While at one of the fires
l saw approaching litter borne by
