Welcome Home Troops Spark Enthusiastic Wheeling Welcome
Daily Journal recounts the return of Union troops from Wheeling to Grafton with wild cheers at each station. Women waved bonnets and aprons, soldiers paraded with bayonets, and Mannington saw a sea of supporters as regiments were greeted with flags and shouts. Farther along, anti-Unionists were arrested or warned as scouting squads moved.
