Mosby (search for this): chapter 6
d Tenth Vermont regiments, which had been distributed along the river at the fords, and the squadron of cavalry, constituted, besides our own company, the entire force remaining; seemingly just weak enough, so we thought, to tempt a surprise from Mosby and his gang the first favorable opportunity. However, lie did not appear to think so, and everything remained quiet until the 18th of April, when we struck our tents, packed up, bade adieu to Camp Davis, as it was called in honor of the Coloneing. At last there came something definite. On the morning of June 11, before sunrise, three or four cavalrymen, hatless, coatless, and covered with dust, came galloping into camp with their horses in a reeking sweat. It seems that a band of Mosby's cavalry surprised their little camp of forty Men—located at Seneca, some six miles down the river—before they were up, killed four, took seventeen prisoners, and fell to plundering the tents. The remainder of the detachment fought desperately

Ichabod Crane (search for this): chapter 6
long, lank negro, full six feet six inches in height, whom we had seen a few times before, made his appearance in camp. He was one of those individuals whose legs and arms are of such unconscionable extent, that it is impossible to find pantaloons and sleeves long enough to cover more than two-thirds their length. As he took a seat on a camp-stool, his legs, coming up grasshopper-like to a level with his ebony face, recalled to one's mind, in all except color, the quaint portraiture of Ichabod Crane, the schoolmaster of Sleepy Hollow. He passed by the name of William Walker. He professed to be a spy, employed by Gen. Hooker on very secret service, frequenting the Rebel camps to pick up information, and claimed to have saved our camp from a surprise, early in the spring, by giving timely notice at headquarters.
