Case, 1862 January 12 | | | Published: | 2001 | | | Subjects: | The Corinne Carr Nettleton Civil War Collection | UVA-LIB-Text | UVA-LIB-Nettletoncivilwarletters | | | Description: | Here we are after a retreat of about twenty four miles, at the place denoted
above. I say retreat for I know not what else to term it for we
have entirely withdrawn all troops, even picket from Romney & Springfield
toward Cumberland. What the object is, I know not, unless it is like
Gen. Rosecrans'1 movement
fromSewell Mountain,2 oig to lure
them back to those positions in order to whip them severely. If such is the case, it will prove a sorry advance for the Rebels. But
I suppose you are "dying to know" the details of the march .
Well I cannot do better than to make extracts
from my diary. So you must excuse all the imperfections for it was written for
myself. | | Similar Items: | Find |
