General Eppa Hunton at the battle of Bull Run, July 21, 1861.
Statement that he saved the Confederate Army from defeat.
A writer signing himself C contributed to the Prince William Times of July, 1904, the following interesting story of the first battle of Manassas:
The writer of this has read and heard so many confli h being on the lookout, came to his rescue, and saved the lambs in short order.
Now, to the point.
Who saved the Confederates from a disastrous surprise on July 21, 1861?
I will endeavor to prove that General Hunton was the man.
The people in the vicinity of the battlefield were in possession of information that a battle wa he advance of the army through a signal station that he had established a day or two before on Hooe's Hill, below Manassas, with what I saw and know.
I am very sure I am correct in my opinion that General Eppa Hunton is entitled to the honor of being the officer who prevented the defeat of the Confederate forces on July 21, 1861.
