MANASSAS REUNION.
II v
I.. A I.MON.
Having Imami requested to write
» il«!N4M'i|>tioi) ot the trip to Manus
wts, Va., by th«' 7th (iu. Regiment,
• lii'n' a mimlH'i of us remusl with
iliat Ihiiioiis regiment oii tin* 21st.
<i1 July, 1905, I promised to pou a
>lioi( sketch of the country unil
jiIimics visited.
Being a convalescent, unwell
even from the iM'ginning of the
trip, there* were many things ami
some important towns of which I
was not aide to learn much. So
my Nay w ill lie short, unintcrest
mg and disappointing, perhaps,
in many particulars.
Although u siek man, the trip
was troth pleasant and interesting
to the writer,and I join w ith many
others to thank those clever gen
llcmeu, meuiltora of the 7th Gu.
regiment, who made the arrange
on Isjth sides is lieautifol. The
narrow bottom lands were decked
with tine looking corn, and the
hillsides lent lx;auty and appre
ciation to the scene, lieing covered
with tine apple orchards. Emerg
ing from this gap, a charming
panorama of level, fertile lands,
extending many miles in every
direction, greeted our vision, cov
ered with harvested wheat, clover
anil tine fields of growing corn,and
apple orchards ludened with lruit.
This is by far the finest looking
country through which we passed.
In some places, fields of fine corn
lined the road for several continu
ous miles on tioth sides. Much
rain had l»een falling, which had
damuged the wheat.
We sjKMit the 21st on the his
toric battlefields of first and second
Manassas. Here the famous Henry
house stands. The proprietress, a
woman of much nerve and patriot
ism, was killed by a bomb from
the enemy. She was an invalid
when killed. One of her grand
sons still lives and owns this his
toric, farm. It was quite interest
ing to visit, see and stand on the
very spots where our fathers and
brothers of the gallant 7th fought
in ’<>1 and ’02, and to view the
identical places where some of our
liest men anil brave heroes loll in
defense of their home and where
(Jen. T. J. Jackson stood when
Gen. .Bee, of 8. t'., said vividly,
“Look! There is Jackson standing
like a stonewall.” We saw the
stone house that wus made famous
and historic by the scenes enacted
around it in those perilous war
times. It stands only a short dis
tance from the Henry house. All
ternoon, the 150th. The remainder these places and scenes were
of ourfcoinpany|werc left to spend j graphically pointed out au<lde-
the afternoon as we wished. (Some | scribed 1 to us by Prof. J. E. Pen-

the town of Manassas, on the 21st
of July, 1801; the second Manas

sud .HOt-h of August, 18d2. Both
ot these were complete victories
planted in peach trees that look speech ot the occasion was deliver
ed by that ripe scholar and worthy
gentleman anti ex-Confederate sol
dicr, Prof. J. K. Pendergrast- The
speeches consisted chiefly of rein,
iniscenees of the civil war, and the
loyalty of the Southern people to
the fiag since the war, ami best
interest of our prosperous country.
Prof. Pendergrast is thoroughly
southern and democratic, in his.
practical life, unil his retqqrk^
were sensible and conservative.
After the speech-making, we
were greeted with u most excellent
early Thursday morning, but saw
only u little of it, us there' was
only a short stop made t here.
But some of us remember w ith
ers in private boarding houses and
hotels, though a few proceeded on
to Washington, 1>. Friday
evening, where they took in the
capital city for t wo days. Satur
day was a rainy.day, but we spent
it in Washington, taking in the
sights of that most beautiful and
magnificent city in many respects,
in the world, undaunted by the
continuous down pour. We had
heard much of this beautiful, at
tractive city, but the hall had not
lieeu told us. After seeing some
of it, from a general view and giv
ing some places a closer inspection
tliun others, we too decided it was
a most wonderful city. All the
public buildings of note were
visited. Owing to our limited
time and the facilities at our com
mand on u rainy day, we saw anti
learned but little, comparatively,
of the beauties and interesting
places unil things of this magnifi
cent city. We resolved if possible
to visit it again in the future. We
traveled by electric car from Al
exandria to Washington.
Late Saturday afternoon we
visited Mount Vernon by Itoat, on
the wide, placid waters ot the Po
to mac.
On our return some of us stop
ped off at Alexandria, where we
had left our cars, others returned
to Washington, where they re- 1
mainod Saturday night and Sun
day. A few visited Baltimore.on
Sunday. A majority of our com
pany remained in Alexandria,
where we attended divine services
on Sunday. The writer attended
Christ’s Church, Episcopal, and
occupied, during services, with
eleven others, Washington’s pew .
it still has its ancient form, a
square. Gem R. E. lice’s pew
was pointed out to us, but nobody
wus allowed to occupy it. We
were* entertained by a most learned
and excellent gospel sermon by
Rev. Mr. Wilber, the pastor.
The reception given by the
Daughters of the Confederacy, in
our honor in their own hall, dur
ing our stay in Alexandria was,in
deed, very nice in every respect.
Refreshments were distributed to
the guests by a quartette of polite
anti beautiful young ladies. Be
fore the banquet was over, one
could perceive who was the ruling j
spirit umong the entertaining la
dies. It. was Mrs. Alexander, to
whom the writer was afterwards i
intrqduced by her husband. Yes,
they were the prince and princess
that gave zest to the occasion.
With this princess, a.person was
made to feel the presence of a lady
possessing superior qualities of
mind and soul. Fortunate is any
home, town or community having
such polished and worthy charac
ters.
Alexandria is a-gootl old sub
stantial city of about 15,000 iu
habitants, w ho seem, to some ex
tent,. commercially to be asleep,
or resting in the lap of past accom
plishments and historic glories.
However, we believe these Alex
andrians like “those of old,” arc a
thrifty, good and charitable peo
pie.
