Additional Details

Describes a dangerous foray into Virginia: "We came out of it considerably faster than we went into it, there being a force of some 80 rebels in the rear of us, and we being but 20 men all told. . . . We were caught in a bad box, but as it happened, only a small force came after us, and we whipped them off and crossed the river safely without losing a man."
