Private James Power Smith of the Rockbridge Artillery: “We remained in battery near the Henry house, while the battle was won and the victory turned into a rout and panic that swept all the way to the Potomac and beyond. Some of us were sent with horses to bring back the guns left by the enemy on the field. And there we saw the fields far stretched with dead and dying. As I placed a knapsack under the head of a poor sufferer in blue, he struggled feebly to draw something from his pocket. To his unuttered desire I drew out the small photograph of a woman and child, and while I held it up before his gaze, his eyes closed and the husband and father was gone.” -- Smith’s article “With Stonewall Jackson in the Army of Northern Virginia,” in Southern Historical Society Papers, volume 43 (1920), page 11
