verged along different lines toward
Fairfax.
1t was not until the 10th Of July
that our leaders determined upon
a flanking movement to our right,
which was to cross Bull Run at the
Sudley ford. Even so, we dallied
along until every one knew our plans.
Back of us the battle opened on the
following day, regiment at time,
with no concert, no plan. My men
were with this right wing, which made
the turning movement, but four bri-
gades in all. Four other brigades.
those Of Howard, Burnside, Keyes and
Schenck, were lost somewhere to the
rear of us. Finally we crossed and
reached the left flank of the Confed-
crates under Beauregard, and swung
south along Bull Run. Our attack
was scattering and ill planned, but
by O'Clock of the next day We
were in the thickest of the fightin
around the slopes which led up to tn
Henry house. back of which lay til
Confederate headquarters.
I saw the batteries Of Rickett an
Griffin Of our regulars advance an
take this height against the steadil
thickening line OF the ConfederateS
who had now had full time to cOncen
trate. There came a hot cavalry
charge upon the zouave regiment on
my left, and 1 saw the zouaves lie

I saw that blunder by which the bat

it was-deliberately to march within
stones throw of them, mistaken for
Federal troops. l saw them pour a
volley at short range into the guns,
which wiped out their handlers and
let through the charging lines now
converging rapidly upon us. Then,
though it was but my first battle, I
knew that our movement must fail,
that our extended line. lying upon
nothing, supported by nothing, must
roll back in retreat along a trough
road, where the horses and guns
would NOW us down. Stuart's men
came on, riding through us as we
broke. Wheat's Louisiana Tigers came
through our remnants as well.
They were practically over us and

Of the remaining splinter of my little
company saw riding down upon us
a splendid soldier almost alone and
apparently endeavoring to reach his
command after some delay at the rear.
He was mounted on fine horse. a
great black animal. His tall figure
was clad in the gray uniform Of the
Confederates, with black hat sweep
ing back from his forehead. I saw
him half rise once, twice. four times,
standing in the stirrups to enforce hts

CHAPTER XIV.
The Reckoning.

40 it was war. We drew apart
into hostile camps. By mid
winter South Carolina, Missis-
- sippi, Georgia, Alabama, Flor
ida, Louisiana, Texas, had withdrawn
from the Union. There arose two capi-
tails, each claiming government, each
planning war-Washington and Rich
mond AS for me. l had seen the flag
on our far frontiers in wide, free lands.
It wcs q time when each must choose
for himself. l knew with whom my
own lot must be cast. 1 pledged my
self to follow the flag Of the frontier,
wherever it might go.
When the gun of Sumter came on
that sad day of April l was ready with
q company of volt nteers who had
known some months of drill at least
and who had been good enough to elect
me for their captain. Most of my men
came from the mountains Of western
Virginia. / heard remotely that Colo
mel Meriwether would not join the
Confederacy. Both the Sheratons, the
old colonel and his son Harry were. OF
course, for the south, and early in jan
uary they both left home for Rich
mond. On the other hand. again. our
friend Captain Stevenson stood for the
Federal government. and so l heard
also indirectly, did young Belknap Of
the Ninth dragons. regulars. gallant
boy who swiftly reached distinction,
and died a gallant mans death at Shi-
lob later on.
My mother, all for peace. wept when
she saw me in uniform and belt. "See,"
she said, 1--WE freed our slaves long
ago. We thought as the north thinks.
This war is not for the Society Of
Friends But she saw my fathers
blood in me again and sighed go,
then," she said. All over the country,
north and 4outh. came the same sigh
ed consent of the women, go, then"
And so we went out to kill each other,
we who should all have been brothers.
None of US would listen. The armies
formed, facing each other on Virginia
soil. Soon in our trampled fields and
broken herds and ruined crops, in our
hesolated homes and hearts, we broth
ers in America learned the significance
of war.
