"Were you under Jackson or Longstreet?"
"I was in Jackson's corps, General."
"Did you make the march under him?"
"Yes, sir."
"And this march of Ewell and Hill seems similar to your march of last year?"
"General, last year, on August 24th, I rejoined General Jackson's corps at the very place where I left Hill's corps this morning. On August 25th last year General Jackson crossed the Hedgeman River on his flank march. Hill's corps this morning began to move toward the crossing of the river."
"Have you seen General Lee in the last few days?"
"No, sir; but I have seen men who said they saw him."
"Do you know him when you see him?"
"Yes, sir."
