Premont's Rapid Marches and War Reports
The Washington Bee Post notes Fremont's swift advance from Strasburg to Harrisonburg despite burned bridges, with praise for the pursuit that forced a battle. It compares the maneuver to Jackson’s Martinsburg effort and Banks and Shields at Winchester, while acknowledging supply wagon delays. Also included are crude pest-control tips using a barrel trap to drown rats and a quip about a calf beads dinner remark by Jeremiah.
