Ten hours of mimic war tests guard troops at Camp Ordway
District guardsmen spent a day in field maneuvers near Harpers Ferry simulating battle conditions. Col Brett's wagon train faced a Savage attack by Col Ross's forces near Rattling Spring, with heavy fire and tactical feints. Brett maneuvered to retreat in good order, preserving wagons, while Ross failed to cut off the train. The day featured disciplined drill, fortuitous lunch, and plans for a two day march toward Duffield to test defense and assault on a simulated Blue Army hold.
