From the
Richmond
Dispatch,
8/22/1861
, p. 2
The State of Alabama
has a lot of “good men and true” on the soil of Old Virginia at this time,
the 14th Regiment, commanded by Col. Cantee. More hearty and robust
men we have seldom seen. The regiment is encamped some distance beyond Bloody
Run gully. Their dress parades occur on the level ground just above the gully.
The fine regiment of
Louisiana
soldiers called the “Polish Brigade,” is encamped in the grove bordering on
Griffin Spring. Visitors will find many native Virginians amongst the officers
and soldiers.
