Regimental struggles and camp life in 1861 Virginia
On September 8, 1861, Company D of the Twenty Fifth Alabama Regiment moved from Centerville toward Manassas Junction near Alexandria. A lieutenant was accidentally killed by a stray musket ball. The camp at Cub Run saw fatal accidents from careless play. Winter quarters at Manassas battle site featured log cabins, cold weather gear, and constant picket duty with improvised brush screens. More details promised next week. Helam Drug Co endorses Foley's Honey and Tar for grippe coughs.
