Diary of Judith W. McGuire: November 10, 1861
Returning from church to-day, we were overtaken by W. B. C,
on horseback. We were surprised and delighted. He soon explained his “position.”
Jackson's Brigade has been ordered to take charge of the Valley, and is coming
to-day to Strasburg, and thence to Winchester. He rode across on R’s horse. He
dined with us, and told us a great deal about the army, particularly about our
own boys. We are greatly relieved to have that noble brigade in our midst; we
have felt, for a long time, the want of protection.
