| This is an excerpt from Jesse's book: Stone Bridge Battle Field,July 24th,1861 As before stated, I cannot give you an idea of the terrors of this battle,I believe that it was as hard a contested battle as was ever fought on the American Continent,or perhaps anywhere else. For ten long hours it almost seemed that heaven and earth was coming together, for ten long literally rained b??g,shells,and other missels of destruction. The firing did not cease for a moment. Try to picture to yourself at least one hundred thousand men,all loading and firing as fas as they could. It was truly terrific. The cannon's, although,they make a great noise,were nothing more than pop guns compared with the tremendous thundering noise of the thousands of muskets. The sight of the dead,the cries of the wounded,friend and foe,all mixed up together;friend and foe embraced in death;some crying for water,some praying their last prayers together,some trying to whisper to a friend their last farewell message to their loved ones at home. It is heartrending. I cannot go any further. Mine eyes are damp with tears. I will now close this letter. Pherhaps in my next I will say something more of the Waterloo of America. I should have stated above that Jefferson Davis,General Johnson,and General Beauregard all came amongst us late in the evening. We gave them all a good yell. Although the fight is over the field is yet quite red with blood from the wounded and the dead. Yours as ever J.W.Reid ( all the typo's are his not mine) |
