"REMINISCENCES or THE

BY w. H. H. BEVIL.

When we broke up from Fred

Pennsylvania campaign, as we'll
as / remember, about the second
day of June, 1863. We only went
a short distance the first day only
to get our army in motion. How
strong the army was at that time
l do not know, but we stayed
that night on part of the battle
field of Charlottesville. We
went this time left in front. The
next morning Gen. Barksdale's
brigade went in front, and as
they passed the 18th regiment
the band played "Old Nelly
Gray" A few moments later
the 18th regiment fell into line,
and as we passed the Chancellor
vile house where 81 yankees and
2 confederates were burned up,
there was a sign tackled up on a
tree which read, "Dr. Bur's de-
scription of the Dead" but not
a man was allowed to break
ranks to look into it, and I do
not remember how many days il
was, but we went on the top OF
the Blue Ridge mountain nea,
the Shenandoah river, there we
stopped, and Lanson Vaughan
and Bill Griffin went off and got
some whiskey and brought it into
our camp, and Nicholas Farr got

thinking people realized that we
had reached a very low strata in
our political morality and that
something must be done, else we
would soon be in the hands OF
