When wq arrived in Kichtmm
after leaving South Carolina oui
I command consisted of four can pan iey
of the llolcomh legion cavalry,
named in honor of Mrs. Ihckens, wifi
of Governor Pickens, whose maiden
name was llolcomh. After our arrival
wo were immediately assigned
to the ponim-nlar atid upon this territory
wan fought the "-even day's
battles around Ilichmoud " The
lines <.f h.i tie were email v fmen.l <>i
to be distinctly seen by the distinction
of vcgiration, wearing apparel,
consisting of fragments "of caps,
pants, jackets, shoes, etc, cartaidge
boxes, belts, broken guns and sabers.
About Mil and the uiost impressive
was the d *ad. Many of the enemy
were never buried,, those that were
it was done very imperfectly. They
were placed in heaps, in shallow pits,
wiMr just sufficient dirt to hide rhem
I)o id lift ran* were to fie seen in ererv
direction. Trie a'inosphere w is perfectly
s Unrated with the disagreeable
od >r. Our rations and drinking
water seeiue l to be impregnated wiih
the sttne. On M ilvern 11:11 I counted
twenty?sjven dead artillery horse*
in one place, where Gen. Jenkin s
troops charged a Federal battery of
twenty-two guns. The General ordered
his men to shoot the horses to
prevent the eticiny from moving the
guns. This charge was a gallant
and bloody affair, as some of the read
ers v .1 l-c ir witness to the fact. To
look over the battlefield of Frazor's
far n in. the direction of the forest
and buildings, by the missiles of war,
[ cannot see how it was possible f >r
any of our soldiers to escipc. You
c mid distinctly sec every line of assault
by the dead Federals. Our
dead as a general thing had been
moved or more decently buried. Piles
up >n piles of human skeletons marked
the liu'S <?f battles. It wis a com
man thing to hear the crushing ot
human hones as they came in contact
wit'i our wagon wheels and feet
of our Troi'ses.
It was our duty to picket and recounoiter
this entire territory, reach
ing fr nn the J imes to the Panunkey
river, which made our duties labor
ious and continuous. 'J'lie enemy
became so demoralized from their
recent defeat tha' three or four of us
could put 10 Ihght a full company.
Ail we hud to do was ro ch trge, accompanied
with the '"Rebel yell"
and they were g >ne, but they soon
became more tame. In course of
tunc they found out that we were
weak in numbers, consequently they
annoyed us no little. They took
great delight in coining out from
their headquarters ? Williamsburg

and drive in our pickets which generally
consisted of two non commissioned
othoers and six privates. This
ciused us to resort to every expedi
cut known in war. To retalliaie we
so-netimes stretched telegraph wire
across the road, just high en ?ugh to
dismount the rider and pa?s the
horse beneath, as we had a use for
the lutter hut no use for the former
unless he was what we ealled "a tame
Yank," one that was dead; after getting
the trap set some one or two of
us would ride out towards them, wave
our hats, taunt them wi'h words,
thereby prompt them to charge,
sometimes we were sueces-ful in dismounting
and maiming some ofthein,
when we were successful you ought
to have heard us cheer and taunt
them. At other times we would
place friction shelis in the road, cover
them up so as to bide them, ?o sonn
as the enemy would get over them
the cord attached was jerked and the
shell exploded. These did not prove
distructive but very demoralizing.
Imagine yourself riding along the
highway over these shells and- you
may be the more able to form an idea
of how you would feel. These shells,
two or more, wore attnched to a long
s'ring at one end and the other to a
soldier seated some distance from the
road, whose duty was to jerk the
string when the enemy came in proximity
thereto. This duty required n
man of nervo and I might say one
of some general information. For
this reason several of these shells
were placed on an imported part of
the road, where we expected the
enemy to pass. There came up a
thunder shower and it began to ruin.
The soldier in charge thought it best
to take the in up and protect them. |
