Book Description
Excerpt from Old Virginia Before introducing to the reader, to the English reader at any rate, so many old friends and well remembered scenes from Virginian life, it seems to me that it would be not wholly amiss to give some slight historical account of the Old Dominion itself. I am perfectly aware of a certain incongruity in prefacing sketches of so light a character with anything in the shape of a historical essay. An author, however, may be allowed perhaps some license in this particular so long as he distinctly labels such a chapter with an unmistakable title. For no reader of a light work, I take it, considers himself bound to read the intro duction. And that there is perhaps even less occa sion than usual in this case, so far as the continuity of this little book is concerned, I will frankly admit. Having thus, I trust, made my peace with those who have no curiosity whatever regarding the past history of Virginia, I will remind those who have that this.

A yell followed, so heartily given that it drowned the music. "Fall in!" roared out the orderly sergeants throughout the camp in the North Carolina pines. When the lines were formed the adjutants read out this order: Camp Jackson, N. C, March 12, 1864. The commander of each regiment will prepare to move at once, with three days' rations in the men's haversacks. The brigadier-general commanding has been directed by telegraph to make all haste to Blank Station, Virginia, to protect the important railroad bridge at that place, now threatened by a raiding force of unknown strength. He deems it unnecessary to say more to Virginia soldiers that once more they will be permitted to defend Virginia from the invader. Regimental commanders will leave their camps and baggage in charge of the sick, detailing such others as may be necessary for guard duty. Rations will be issued immediately and must be cooked at once. Transportation is expected to arrive in less than two hours By order of Richard Giles, Brig. Gen. Com. Charles L. Crump, Capt. and A. A. A. G. Cheer upon cheer rent the air. Ranks were broken and the men worked like ants. Most of the brigade hailed from Southside Virginia, and none knew but that his own home would soon be in peril. Two hours later the drums sounded again and the ranks of each company were formed. When the rolls were called nearly every man in the brigade reported for duty. Some of them could only stand with the assistance of comrades, but there were no laggards. Captains had to peremptorily order all who had been on the sick list that morning out of ranks, and to add some officers and men by detail to guard the camp and...
