Gett\?Sburg. the Orders Were Issued, the Army of the Potomac Was in Motion Again
~be ~welftb <torps wood, as the Confederates call it - was the information gained and forwarded promptly to General Hooker: Longstreet's Corps was at Culpeper, while from the despatches captured in Stuart's camp effects it was learned that Lee's entire army had started or was under orders to move. Further than this Hooker could not learn anything definite as to the intention of his antagonist. Lee's movements, so far as disclosed, might mean an attack on Washington by way of Manassas as before; the reoccupation of the Shenandoah Valley and passes of the Blue Ridge; or an invasion of Maryland and Pennsyl vania. While Lee's instructions gave him the utmost freedom of command and movement, Hooker was restricted by explicit orders that he must not uncover Washington. The Army of the Poto mac had to act on the defensive. move parallel with the enemy, and keep itself continually between Lee and the Capital. Gett\?sburg. The orders were issued, the Army of the Potomac was in motion again. The Twelfth Corps broke camp on June thirteenth, and, marching by Dumfries. Fairfax Court House, and Dranesville, arrived at Leesburg on the eighteenth. The long march from Dumfries to Fairfax on the fifteenth was a memorable one on account of the intense heat, several of the men falling in the road from exhaustion or smitten with sunstroke. On the eighteenth a heavy rain with a hail storm at evening added to the fatigue and discom fort of the day. 'l'he corps remained at Leesburg eight days, dur ing which large details were made for the construction of fortifications and repairs of old breastworks already on the ground. -

In writing ths narrative, which relates to the decisive campaign which freed the Northern States from invasion, it may not be out of place to state what facilities I have had for observation in the fulfilment of so important a task. I can only say that I was, to a considerable extent, an actor in the scenes I describe, and knew the principal leaders on both sides, in consequence of my association with them at West Point, and, subsequently, in the regular army. -

Pumpelly who broke the traditional bottle of wine across her bow. As a matter of historic interest it may be said that a reproduction of the Susquehannah was used as an emblem on the first official seal of Owego village. On the 5th of May the new boat was run up the river about five miles, and on the next day about three miles down, on both occasions working to the satisfaction of her owners. On the morn ing of the 6th the Susquehannah started for Wilkesbarre, and reached there at 4:40 o'clock, p. m., but the return voyage occu pied three days. Later several other trips were made, but some accident or mishap happened on each occasion. In the spring of 1837 the boat was driven ashore by the ice at the mouth of Owego off" creek, and she was not "got and repaired until late in the season. Finally she steamed up and went to Wilkesbarre, and from there went adrift on high water and floated several miles down "attached" the river. She was eventually to pay for repairs, and sold for $60. Blanchard, her builder, sued the company on his contract and a long litigation followed, finally resulting in a judg ment in his favor, to satisfy which each of the directors was com pelled to pay $428.48 in addition to his original investment in the enterprise. Blanchard, in turn, was brought into court at the suit of James Pumpelly, for moneys advanced, and another long suit resulted. -

The Gettysburg Campaign Abstract The Battle of Gettysburg has inspired a more voluminous literature than any single event in American military history for at least three major reasons. First, after three days of fighting on July 1–3, 1863, General Robert E. Lee’s Confederate Army of Northern Virginia and Major General George G. Meade’s Army of the Potomac lost more than 51,000 dead, wounded, captured, and missing, making Gettysburg the costliest military engagement in North American history. Second, President Abraham Lincoln endowed Gettysburg with special distinction when he visited in November 1863 to dedicate the soldiers’ cemetery and delivered his immortal Gettysburg Address. -

There he who would rescue on fore, from fast-gathering oblivion the deeds of a community, and send them tale," to futurity in an imperishable record, should deliver a "plain, unvarnished "Nothing extenuate, Nor set down aught in malice." In such a spirit have the compilers of the following pages approached the work of detailing the history of the four counties embodied herein, and trust they have been fairly faithful to the task imposed. -
