War game of District guardsmen at Camp Ordway in Harpers Ferry
The District guardsmen conducted ten hours of mimic warfare near Rattling Spring with two battles, one to block a wagon train and another to retreat it to Camp Ordway. Col Brett’s convoy, aided by Col Ross, faced heavy blank-fire resistance but reached safety. The day featured sharp tactical maneuvers, careful umpire reports, and plans for a two day march toward Duffield, with future actions focusing on defense and attack near Duffield and the Blue Army forces.
