He sent word to our Col. if he wanted any provisions he would have to send another train...We are sure there is fighting going on somewhere for we can hear the cannon. ...a man by the name of Dorsey came into camp one afternoon and said that about 15 miles from here there was 100 cavalrymen he saw them (this was before all our men came) the officers called out all that was able to run...60 of us started and cruised Gauley in our own canoe...laid down in the creek and waited for them to show their cowardly heads...” More. Very good condition.
