Excerpt from Sketches of the Life of Captain Hugh A. White, of the Stonewall BrigadeThe next time the writer saw him was upon the glorious field of Manassas, where the young volunteer had just covered himself with honor by his brilliant courage. In the gray jacket of the private he was the same modest, gentle, graceful, and unobtrusive stripling. Again we met in the glorious campaign of the Valley, in 1862, when he had become the captain of the Liberty Hall Volunteers. He appeared a little more bronzed and robust, but in everything else he was the same. Yet in all the responsibilities of discipline and danger, the sweet boy-man shone forth, full of nerve, energy, and heroism. The writer can also testify, from his own observation, to the elevated consistency and heavenly mindedness of his christian character in the camp.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
