Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 32. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), General Eppa Hunton at the battle of Bull Run, July 21, 1861. (search)
ker sent information to the Colonel at once, and he (Colonel Hunton) sent word to General Beauregard by the same messenger. Slaymaker held his post until the advance of Tyler's division drove him from it. I remained at home until the infantry advanced to within three hundred yards of me, and retreated to the battlefield. I saw the firing of infantry, and the mad rush of the Federals down the Henry Hill to get out of harm's way. Taking into consideration the fact that Colonel Hunton got Sergeant Slaymaker's report at 7:30 A. M., and that the battle was on before 10 A. M., I cannot reconcile the report of some of General Evans's friends that he discovered the 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.
