Description
CSA General Joseph E. Johnston's Signed Order to Evacuate Shepherdstown, June 13, 1861
Lot of 2: Joseph E. Johnston (1807-1891). Confederate General. LS as Brigadier General, 1p, 8 x 8.25 in., "Hd. Qrs. Harpers Ferry." June 13, 1861. Addressed to Colonel Harper, Johnston states:
Intelligence of the enemy's movements apparently upon Winchester determine me to fall back upon that place this afternoon.
Collect your troops, therefore as secretly as you can, and move to the same place by the best route. I am told it is through Charlestown. The time of day for this move I leave to yourself, - as the character of the country which you know must determine whether or not it is best to wait for darkness. Your point of union should be well in the rear and on the route you intend to take. Please seal, and send the enclosed to Col. Stuart.
Accompanied by what appears to be the manuscript copy that Colonel Harper was to get to Colonel Stuart, 7.5 x 8.5 in. This copy was made by Major William Smith Hanger Baylor who commanded the 5th Virginia Volunteers, organized in Staunton with Johnston.
