who Will walk a mile with me?" Last
evening we camped upon the far-famcd
battlefield OF Manassas.
From Thoroughfare Gap the road
was crowded with historic interest.
and some thrilling memories We
brought out the map. and the veterans
and the men OF the battery on tho
roadside are telling the story OF jack
sons great movement around the right
flank OF Pope with his large army
on the Rappahanneck His forced
march by night through Thoroughfare.
Ills daybreak descent on Bristow, the
supplies and train In rear of the Fed
eral Army and the formation OF his
lines along the ridge In rear of the
unfinished railroad cut are recounted
over and over again. Here Is the
stone house on the left beside the road;
then on the hill is the Henry House
OF the first battle and beyond the Rob-
inson House and soon we cross the old
Stone Bridge.
On Line Of Great March.
We are on the Warrenton Pike.
and for seven miles on the line Of one
OF the greatest marches In all history.
Sunday morning found us in the
grounds of the Church of Our Saviour,
an Episcopal Church, at Little George
town.
After camp breakfast the company
standing before the church, was drawn
up for morning prayers. In the after
noon, in a large grove near Groveton,
a short service was held, the fine
voices OF the young soldiers singing
well tho glory song and Onward,
Christian Soldiers" The camp of Sun
day night was on field between the
stone bridge and Centreville.
Monday morning on the Old Stone
Turnpike. We are on the field OF the
First Manassas. BY 9:30 we pass Cen
treyille and are marching In force on
Fairfax.
The interest created by the passing
of the company and train is every
where evident. Especially has 1t
brought out many Confederate vet
Grams. to whom 1t brings memories Of
the stories Of camp and march and
field. Many friends have been met
and old acquaintances revived. Men
of Mosby's command have been sur
prised and pleased to find an old cap
tain in Colonel Chapman. and the
stories told are worthy of history.
After Fairfax we are looking for
night camp by stream, the last camp
of this march, and on Tuesday before
noon we hope to take Alexandria as
our last victory before we begin tell
ing in Richmond the thrilling stories
of this march.
