Yesterday & Today
Yesterday, July 21st 1861..... And so it begins.. Gen McDowell moves across Sudley Springs to assault Mathews Hill meeting Col. Nathan Evans. Pushing towards the Henry house and the-soon-to-be Stonewall Jackson lying in wait on the grass. Early success gives way to withdrawal and chaos at the Stone bridge and Cub run bridge. All those who came out to witness the Grand Army's stunning and swift defeat of the Rebels soon were in fear for their lives and property. The defeated and humiliated alike slowly creeped back into Washington DC to comtemplate the new turn of the rebellion. War would not be quick and neat......
