Smith that this story would be incomplete without its reproduction: He lived the life of an upright man, And the peopled Lexington, and their whole force camped immediately around the town. The house occupied by the Superintendent, General F. H. Smith, of the Virginia Military Institute, was used as General Hunter's headquarters, while the Presbyterian parsonage wents of the various departments of the school were quickly reduced to ashes.
