The Daily Dispatch: April 19, 1862., [Electronic resource], Yankee Outrages on the Potomac. (search)
Yankee Outrages on the Potomac. A correspondent of the Fredericksburg News chronicles another outrage by the barbarians and pirates that infest the Potomac border. The catalogue of crimes should be recorded and preserved, that our own people and the world may know the character of the war our savage and vandal enemies are waging against us: On Thursday, the 3d of April, a party of brutes landed from a gunboat at the residence of Mr. John B. Lewis, on Rogers's Creek, in Westmoreland. The family was at breakfast. As soon as the boats were seen coming into the creek the family left the house in haste. Having before been visited by the pirates and suffered depredations, and having heard of their threats and intention to capture Mr. Lewis, if possible, they thought it imprudent to remain. As soon as they touched the shore they fired upon Mrs. Lewis and her children as they were escaping. One ball passed the person of Mrs. Lewis, and struck the earth just in advance of her.
