J. T. Frazier of the 7th Virginia Infantry, 50 years after the battle: “The gray and the blue met at the Henry House on July 21, 1911, and after mingling together for several hours formed in line facing each other, as in 1861, then with the old-time yell advanced on each other, not with guns, but extended hands and brotherly greetings. It was an inspiring scene. My heart grew tender and I thanked God for the kindly feeling that prevailed among those men who fifty years ago met in deadly conflict on this bloody field.” -- Confederate Veteran, volume 19 (1911), page 414
