VISITS OLD BATTLE GROUND,
Judge Richardson, OF Richmond
Finds Spot Where He Was
Wounded In 1882

Judge d. G. Richardson, of the ct-T
court of Richmond, spent TUESDAY
looking over the historic fields OF
Manassas on which he was an actor
fifty five years ago this present month.
He travelled with Lieut.. Round with
a horse and buggy from morning till
night. He found the spot on Grove
ton farm where he served in one or

ton on the unfinished railroad
About the hour of p. NJ. when
Gen. Longstreet's entire right wing
moved forward on the south of the
Warrenton pike, Judge Richardson
was badly wounded as his battery adj
vanced northward in relief of Jack
son. From his position he could see
crossed toward Bald hill and Henry
hill. This was the only good oppor-
tunity he had during his life to see
great battle.
He found an old cherry tree, the
very one he lay under for three days
with no food and little water, from
Saturday till Tuesday. On the latter
day the driver OF an ordnance wagon
going to the railway station after am
munition carried him and another
wounded man for long and painful
drive until he met an old citizen
named Foote who became interested
in his case and located him at a.
house where an elderly lady Mary
Jane Brent by name, nursed him back
to life. After three weeks treatment
by this good angel of his life he hob
bled to the railway station and took
the cars for Gordonville. Whether this
station was Bristow or Haymarket or
Catlett he cannot tell. but he is now
