fire at M~anassas-no action in which
I eve participated should remain SO
clearly photographed upon memory as
this last desperate struggle for su-

trace today each step taken upon that
stricken field.
The reveille had not sounded when
l first awoke and, rolling from my
blanket, looked about me. Already a
faint. dim line of gray, heralding the
dawn, was growing clearly defined in
the east. and making manifest those
heavy fog-banks which, hanging dank
and low, obscured the valley. The
tired men of my troop were yet lying
upon the ground, wrapped tightly in
their blankets, oblivious of the deadly
work before them; but l could hear
the horses already moving ~uneasily at
their picket-ropes, and observed here
and there the chilled figure of a sentry
leaning upon his gun, oddly distorted
in form by the enveloping mist.
Directly in advance of where we
rested, a long hill sloped gently up

crest topped with a thick growth of
young oak-trees. yet seemingly devoid
of underbrush. No troops were
camped in our immediate front. and

of our formation, as well as to ex-

and the position occupied by the
enemy. ! walked slowly forward, un-
hindered, until l attained the crest.
The fog yet held the secrets of the
valley safely locked within its brown
hand, and | could penetrate none of
its mysteries. It was like gazing

the summit of another chain of low
hills similar to those We occupied, l
