Slavery and four years of war : a political history of slavery in the United States, together with a narrative of the campaigns and battles of the Civil War in which the author took part, 1861-1865 . f the high qualities of asoldier. He was a trained statesman, lawyer, and thinker, andan earnest, energetic, forceful, successful man. For the most part, while at Winchester I commended abrigade composed of infantry and artillery, located on theheights, but I was for a time under Brigadier-General Wash-ington L. Elliott, a regular officer, who was amiable and capablein all that pertained to military discipline, but timid and un-enterprising. He performed all duty faithfully to orders, butlittle further. Milroy, on the other hand, was restless andconstantly on the alert, eager to achieve all it was possible forhis command to accomplish, hence we were frequently sent onraids up the Valley to Staunton, Front Royal, and through themountains. Colonel Mosbys guerrillas infested the countryeast of the Valley, and frequently dashed into it through thegaps of the Blue Ridge and attacked our supply trains andsmall scouting parties and pickets, accomplishing little save tokeep us on the alert. #.
