Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letters of Richard Tylden Auchmuty, Fifth Corps, Army of the Potomac On Thursday, I went to a review of General Smiths batteries. The target was a small wooden house, but it did not seem to be much hurt; afterwards, we were invited to a splendid spread, presided over by Mrs. Smith, in the house of a man named Smoot - a large brick house, and the only gentleman´s house that I have seen. Three bands played, and the company danced in the hall. McClellan and his staff were there. I telegraphed to the Wads worth party to come, but they did not do so. The review was to have been on our hill, to which they promised to come. I should have liked to have the princes see them. Mrs. and the Misses Barry and Mrs. Benton were the ladies present. Robert Livingston has gone to New York to get his uniform, and will now be in our division. The weather has been rainy, but warm; the leaves are just turning; the bee-line roads are beginning to show what they will be in the way of mud. Since the rebels fell back, there have been no more disturbances at night, and telegrams, blue lights, and rockets are in the past. Last night, however, a great telegraphing set in, and I was up all night. It related to our movements, which appear to be perfectly safe and for the better, viz., to Smoot´s house. I rode over to Hall´s Hill at 1 A.M. after a man, and not finding him there, went to a house about four miles off, near the pickets, and then to Falls Church, getting back at three o´clock.
