War Recollections From Leesburg August to October 1861
A first person recollection notes drills at Leesburg and movements to Aldie and Ball’s Bluff. The 17th Mississippi and 18th Mississippi face Federal forces near Goose Creek and Edwards Ferry with a night order to load canister and remain silent. A toe injury halts advance, muskets discharge, and a chase ensues as the regiment falls back to battle lines in a ravine. The 17th Mississippi joins a counterattack near Ball’s Bluff, with heavy combat, a French kiss of fate, and a volley that kills the Union commander and yields prisoners and artillery. An incident with a Co K member Collins leads to tension with an Irish battery man who strikes him with a ramrod.
