War era tale of Yankee tricks entertains Winchester ladies
A special World correspondent in Winchester, Virginia, describes two Yankees in Confederate disguise fooling a group of secession ladies. One rode in gray with a captured prisoner, while the other wore federal gear and rode by, prompting a joyous display as the prisoner was led into a home for tea. The ruse ends with the two soldiers escaping, proving the ladies’ hospitality could be misused by Union soldiers amid Civil War tensions. The piece notes heightened caution among Winchester hosts after several similar episodes.
