July, 1863.
1st July, 1863 (Wednesday).
We did not leave our camp till noon, as nearly all General Hill's corps had to pass our quarters on its march towards Gettysburg.
One division of Ewell's also had to join in a little beyond Greenwood, and Longstreet's corps had to bring up the rear.
During the morning I made the acquaintance of Colonel Walton, who used to command the well-known Washington Artillery, but he is now chief of artillery to Longstreet's corps d'armee. He is a big man, ci-devant auctioneer in New Orleans, and I understand he pines to return to his hammer.
Soon after starting we got into a pass in the South Mountain, a continuation, I believe, of the Blue Ridge range, which is broken by the Potomac at Harper's Ferry.
The scenery through the pass is very fine.
The first troops, alongside of whom we rode, belonged to Johnson's division of Ewell's corps.
Among them I saw, for the first time, the celebrated Stonewall Brigade, formerly commanded by Jackson.
