Stonewall (search for this): chapter 1.10
Maryland Confederates. Proposed Monument to them in Baltimore. Original field orders from General Joseph E. Johnston and T. J. (Stonewall) Jackson to Ashby, of cavalry fame. Marylanders complimented for Efficency and Gallantry—Ashby died fighting with Them—Ashby brothers' and Marylanders' monuments in Stonewall Cemetery—Historical Resume—Bazaars in Baltimore. The Daughters of the Confederacy in Maryland held a popular and successful bazaar in the Fifth Regiment armory, Baltimore, December 2d to 11th ultimo, which yielded about $10,000 for the fund to erect a monument in Baltimore city to the Marylanders in the Confederate service. The monument will cost, perhaps, $25,000. The heroism of the Maryland soldiers and sailors of the Confederate States is known and acknowledged by all intelligent and fair-minded men and women in Maryland, as elsewhere. Young men and maidens, old men and children, praise their valor and sacrifices for principle, and resound their deathles

one, and subsequently Ashby's cavalry became the laurel brigade under the dashing Rosser. Richard Ashby, brother of Turner, was captain of Company A in his regiment. Dick Ashby had already seen perilous service against the Indians in the West, but Turner Ashby was the more popular officer. Both were conspicuous types of the chivalrous cavalier—brave, dashing, and were idolized by their men. Their regiment, in June, 1861, was at Romney, Va., operating against the enemy. On or about June 26th, Captain Dick Ashby, with a small detachment, while scouting near New creek, was ambuscaded by Federal infantry. Ashby, having fallen with his horse, and helpless, was bayoneted repeatedly by coward hands. Being rescued, he was carried back to Romney, where he died, about July 3d. His tragic fate spread gloom through the regiment and among all the troops. The funeral escort consisted of his company and Captain George R. Gaither's Maryland company.

Between the two brothers, Ashby, the close, tender ties existed that are so often found in Southern homes; hence the mortal wounding, under harrowing circumstances, of Dick Ashby, was believed by many to have made his brother, Turner, daring to desperation—reckless of personal peril, and ever keen for a fight.

ses. Moreover, intensely cold weather ensued, with rain and snow, his men were mostly without suitable clothing to protect them, and, hence, suffered terribly. During this movement Jackson issued an order to General Loring, which Loring disregarded. A contention followed which resulted in the Confederate War Department sustaining Loring. Jackson promptly indicated his intention to resign his commission and retake his chair at the Virginia Military Institute, at Lexington, whereupon, Governor Letcher, apprehending the tremendous loss to the Confederacy by Jackson retiring from the field, prevailed upon the Richmond authorities to reconsider their decision. The next order from Jackson to Ashby, April 16, 1862, occurred between the time Jackson fought Shields at Kernstown, March 23, 1862, and his defeat of Milroy at McDowell, May 8, following.

In May, 1862, the First Maryland Infantry, under Major-General Ewell, joined Jackson in the Valley. Major W. W. Goldsborough, in his Maryland Line, C. S. A., 1869, tells of Jackson at this time, thus: To our utter amazement, when we turned our faces to where we had passed his army the evening previous, nothing met our gaze but the smouldering embers of his deserted camp-fires.

rowing circumstances, of Dick Ashby, was believed by many to have made his brother, Turner, daring to desperation—reckless of personal peril, and ever keen for a fight. Ashby's cavalry and the Ashby brothers will be the theme of story and song for generations through the Valley and the Confederacy. Many Marylanders served under the knightly Ashbys, among them Colonel Harry Gilmor, the famous partisan, who began his service as a private in the Seventh Virginia cavalry. Memorial day, June 6th, is identical in the Valley of Virginia and Maryland. Two monuments in the Stonewall cemetery in Winchester, Va., nearly side by side, mark respectively the graves of the Ashby brothers and the Marylanders. The Maryland infantryman in marble, at parade rest, from his pedastal looks down upon the polished granite sarcophagus over the Ashbys. Rev. James B.
