there. Some of the most sanguinary
fighting of the Rebellion occured
around Fredericksburg. Spottsyl
vania, Wilderness, Chancellorsville,
Salem Church, the siege and battle of
Fredericksburg, and many lesser bat
tles were fought in Spottsysvania
County in which Fredericksburg is
t located. More Americans were kill
ed in the five above mentioned
battles than we lost altogether in the
late war. After seeing the fields
where these great struggles were
fought, and learning more of the in
timate history of the surrounding
country, one realizes very strongly
how nearly our union came to being
desevered. The federal forces were
beaten in every battle in this part off
the country, and suffered considerably
greater losses in men than did the
confederates. That consumate general
and strategist, Lee, had under him one
of the best bodies of men who ever
bore arms. Most all of his soldiers
were boys from off the farms and
plantations of the south, expert rifle
men and woodsmen, inured to the
hardships of out-of-door life. On the
other hand, the army of the Potomac
was drawn from a North which was
already rapidly developing into an in
dustrial and manufacturing region,
thus the men who composed it came
chieflly from the cities—clerks, trades
men and laborers. Though possessing
the same unfailing courage of the
southern troops, they were not so well
equipped by early training to become
soldiers.
“Though most histories (printed in
the east) are reluctant to record it, I
am convinced that it was the Union
armies of the west that finally crushed
the rebellion and preserved the Union.
In these armies, the troops of Sher
man, Grant, and Thomas, were men
Iwho were a match in every way for
the southerners; hardy pioneers and
woodsmen and farmers from what was
then our western frontier. If Sher
man had not been able to break
through the confederate lines and
force his way through the South, thus
cutting off supplies and men from
the Virginia army under Lee, it is
improbable that any northern army
could have brought about his sur
render.
“It was our purpose before going to
visit the battle fields to secure the
services of a guide or some one com
petent to direct us about. We soon
came across an old gentleman by the
name of Santley, an ex-confederate
scout under Mosby. He very kindly
volunteered to show us about the city.
We saw the girlhood home of Wash
ington’s mother, a modest little co
lonial place, and the former homes of
-42>— many who have figured in one way
and another in the life of our nation;
the house of John Paul (afterwards
John Paul Jones), the law office of
Monroe, now occupied by darkies, the
lodge room where Washington was
initiated into Masonry, the old Wash
ington farm just across the Rappa
hannock from Fredericksburg, and
many other spots of as great or lesser
interest.
When one speaks of the war in
Fredericksburg, it always means the
Civil War, and when one speaks of
the battle it means, to the residents,
the siege of Friederiegsburg. Many
buftttBP still show the marks of the
conflict, breaches made in walls by
shells, and there are evidences every
where of musket shots. The “sunken
road” where one of the most intense
and bloody struggles of the war oc
curred, is within the city, and one can
earily understand, after seeing the
place, the folly of Burnsides in at
tempting to carry the hill on the op
posite side of the road by storm.
“Shortly before leaving the town
for Chancellorsville, we were fortu
nate in getting a noted character and
resident to accompany us, one Willie
White. Willie was eight years old at
the time of the siege, and was im
prisoned with two smaller brothers
for over twenty-four hours without
food or water, in the basement of a
house directly in the path of the two
contending armies. He was remark
ably well posted on the history and
events which occurred in that part of
Virginia, so his incidental des(cri|p
tions, explanations and anecdotes made
the remainder of our trip much more
interesting than it would have been
otherwise,
“Chancellorsville, taking it3 name
from the Chancellor estate on which
the old breast-works used by the Union
troops and their opponents may stlil
be plainly seen. The old house also
bears testimony to the great struggle
which occurred there, having been
made almost into a sieve during the
battle. A few miles beyond Chan
cellorsville ther is a monument erect
ed at the spot where Stonewall Jack
son fell, shot by his own soldiers while
rcsconnoitering in front of his lines.
The stone bears the dying words of
this great general and simple Christ
ian, ‘Let us cross over the river and
rest in the shade of the trees.’
“From this point we drove through
the Wilderness on the plank road,
along which the battle of that name
was partly fought—an ideal fighting
country, if there ever was one—thick
woods and many swells in the ground,
and numberless little streams. We
saw the spot where Lee and Jackson
had their famous ‘headquarters on
horse-back,’ a day or two before Jack

‘“Then on to the vicinity where
Spottsylvania Courthouse was fought.
Including the 'bloody angel/ much in
its former condition, the trenches for
many yards where the tlwo armies
fought one another just a few feet
apart, being plainly discernable. Oak
trees, which in the 60’s had a circum
ference of several feet, were com
pletely shot away by musket fire.
General Sedgwick, on coming out into
an opening in the woods at the com
mencement of the battle noticed his
men bending over, evidently for the
purpose of escaping the rebel bullets,
which led him to remark, ‘Well, you
are feeling mighty polite this morn
ing, boys.’ He was instantly killed
after uttering these words, and a
beautiful monument now preserves
for the future the memory of what
happened there. ,
“After having a genuine southern
dinner at the Spottsylvania Inn, (we
drove back to Washington, only stop
ping for a few minutes in Fredericks
burg on our return.”
