Warrenton (Virginia, United States) (search for this): chapter 1.62
, who did not dismount, but sought the favor of going in search of better rations. He soon returned, elated with his success. He had traded his uncooked rations for good family fare and arranged to have loaf-bread, butter, honey, and milk so long as he might need them; but before these things came to hand boots and saddles sounded, and we were on our way up the river, the James City Cavalry acting as advance guard. After crossing the river and passing through many villages, we came to Warrenton. Here I stopped long enough to call out Dr. Joel S. Bacon, once President of Columbian College, to shake his hands and ask about Josie, of whom I had pleasant reminiscences. We turned down the first street leading east, and were halted about a half-mile from the town, upon the brow of a hill commanding a beautiful view. Upon looking back, we saw that the whole of Stuart's Cavalry had dismounted in the town, and there was such a stir and commotion as to excite one's curiosity. But looki

the town's stir: The citizens had ordered Stuart to halt his column long enough to eat the dinners prepared for themselves, and handed around by the ladies, who did not take time to don hats and aprons. It is a pity to draw the brush over this lovely picture, but truth demands that I should say that the watching, waiting, vanguard was forgotten! All that we got was a pelting, driving rain. The dinner over, the orderly dashed up and said: The General orders that you push ahead and cross Cedar creek, now swollen by the rain, unless your horses have to swim. Our zeal pronounced the creek fordable, although it was angry, dashing, crashing and swollen much beyond its usual limits. After a dangerous struggle we crossed, and sent back word that it would be impossible to get the artillery over. Ah! who can tell what would have been the result if the artillery could have crossed? After marching a short distance, we came to a splendid mansion on our left, whose lawn was extended to the

be distinctly heard crashing through the cars. The surprise was complete, the attack a success. And now, having brought my narrative down to where history begins, I close with the remark that in the strategic move in Pope's rear the James City Cavalry was the vanguard, and did its duty dashingly, heroically and efficiently. I append a roster of the company. James H. Allen. The roster. The James City Cavalry, Company H, Fifth Regiment, was mustered into service in the city of Williamsburg by Colonel Munford, May 22, 1861. There were so few members enrolled that a little cheating was done in order to get it accepted. It subsequently made such a reputation, that it was more difficult to keep out recruits than it was to gain them. It never lost a man by transfer, and only one by exchange. Major B. B. Douglas once remarked to me: Your company illustrates the fact that educated gentlemen always make good soldiers. This company was a close follower of Rosser, Fitz. Lee, Pay

The James city Cavalry. [from the Richmond Dispatch, June 16, 1896.] its organization and its first service. Movement in Pope's rear. A successful charge upon a picket post-some sounds of revelry-attacking a train-roll of the Company. Toano, June 1, 1896. To the Editor of the Dispatch: After the battle of Malvern Hill the cavalry turned its head north, and haltedten days or more near Hanover Courthouse. The 5th Regiment, of which the James City Cavalry was a part, camped in Mrs. Winston's field, which was dotted over with wheat shocks, affording shelter and food for an innumerable host of harvest-bugs. These bugs put themselves upon terms of great familiarity with the men, crawling over them and seeming to have a fancy for exploring the depths of the ears of the sleepers. The shrieks and groans of the sufferers oftimes made night hideous, and aroused the whole camp. The aid of the surgeon was invoked, and his skill was tested in extracting the bores. While here Co
