In vindication of General Rufus King. by Charles King, Captain, U. S. A.
In writing for The century magazine his recollections of The Second battle of Bull Run, General Pope has, perhaps inadvertently, used the exact language which, in 1863, and long after, so bitterly hurt one of his most loyal subordinates.
In the course of his article appear these words [see p. 470]:
I sent orders to McDowell (supposing him to be with his command), and also direct to General King, several times during that night and once by his own staff-officer, to hold his ground at all hazards.
Now the casual reader, ignoring the commas before and after the words and also direct to General King, would say that orders were sent to King several times that night and once by his own staff-officer.

By an ingenious device he managed to retain possession of his watch.
He says:
I awoke at 7 A. M., August 29th, by the Warrenton Pike, near Douglass's woods.
A few yards away, under the trees, were several wounded comrades. ... I made use of a broken musket as a crutch, and was well on my way to the shelter of the trees, when some one called out: Throw down that gun.
It was not until the order had been repeated that I was aware it was addressed to me. Looking round, I saw a company of the enemy's cav
