- Title:
- Letter from William H. Eyles (Virginia), "to my friends in Newark." Eyles probably served in company H of the 2nd New Jersey Infantry Regiment. Prior to the 2nd Bull Run Campaign, hoping to see the site of the 1st Battle of Bull Run which took place in July 1861, Eyles and a companion leave their company briefly near Fairfax Court House and tour the area around Manassas Junction, Bull Run, and Centreville. Eyles describes the often desolate scene and relates reminiscences of those involved in that earlier battle. Eyles also gives information about troop movements and skirmishes in the area as well as about Union general Philip Kearny, who would be killed September 1, 1862 at Chantilly (Ox Hill) in the 2nd Bull Run Campaign - March 21, 1862
