Marching through Virginia a mule train to Gordonsville
A Civil War journal recalls Stoneman's brigade moving from Shannon Ford to Gordonsville, crossing the South Anna River after burning the bridge, then racing through wet cold roads. Exhaustion, foraging, and scarce rations marked the night march as Buford probes near Gordonsville. The region impressed the narrator with its fertile fields and the desire for peace grows among locals. Generals Stoneman and Gregg's staff push the column forward, freeing prisoners and seizing officers from Stuart and Jackson.
