Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 23. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), chapter 1.8 (search)
In Jackson's corps there was a company of railroad men, which had been organized in 1861 at Harper's Ferry and its vicinity. When talking with some of them while we were lying around Manassas idle and inactive for so long a time—more than seven months— they were asked how they liked soldiering. Oh, very well, very well indeed, they said. It has one great advantage over railroading: 'tis not nearly so dangerous. We think these battles of the 29th and 30th of August disabused their minds of such an erroneous belief. They were among the most obstinately and stubbornly contested of the war, and on one occasion at least, our men, when their ammunition was exhausted, hurled rocks and stones at their opponents. The losses were heavy, and many valuable lives were sacrificed—if any distinction can be made where nearly all were alike useful to their country. On freedom's battle-ground they died; Fame's loudest trump shall proudly tell How bravely fought—how nobly fell. B. M. Parham<
