The Ledger reproduces a signed statement from two discharged Thirteenth Indiana soldiers alleging unequal treatment during a Banks retreat. They claim black soldiers rode government wagons while white troops walked, and cite authority orders that forced the white men to yield transport to black soldiers. The document, from Washington County, questions the conduct of race based decision making in Virginia in 1862.
