Army Correspondence Details Hartsville Surrenders and Escapes
A Civil War correspondent recounts Lieut Green and others escaping after a sudden attack at Hartsville. General Dumont and Reynolds praise Green’s conduct, while Col. Livarre validates a voluntary retreat to regroup his men. The tale covers troop movements, mounted commands, and the strain of crossfire and artillery. The writer notes Port Conway and Port Royal scenes in Virginia and Virginia-born President Madison’s birthplace, ending with a soldier’s tribute to CO D and a local newspaper’s steady presence.
