his father he thus speaks of the affair. “On Fri
day the 10th an order came from Gen. Stuart for
our battalion to furnish 130 picked men, with
5 days ra-ions, to go on some expedition the na
ture of which was not known. Thirty men, in
cluding myself, were detailed from my company,
Lieut. Mapp commanding. Capt. Nichols was
sick at the time, and Lieut. Beecher was absent.
Gen. Stuart with his little squad of 2,500 cav-
a, ry marched through the \ankee lilies over into
Maryland, thence to Chambersburg, Pa., cleaning
out the Home Guards and Militia as he went.
Our march through Maryland was a perfect ova
