Self Hibernating Campaign - 1861, Manassas Update


By Roving Reporter: Seymore Fields

The Battle at Manassas is won! The Confederacy has bought its-self time to reach out to other like minded nations and establish ourselves on the word stage..

Georgia
Hussars
Alabama
Hunters
The day was full or remarkable events and bravery by our Southern soldiers, to call out just a few would be churlish but who can forget the Mississippian brigade standing firm on Henry House Hill, lead by General Roscoe P. Coltrane. Others under severe pressure were rallied by shouts of.

"See Coltrane, he's sticking to that ground like a Mississippi Mud Pie!"

Then there was the Virginians fighting tooth and nail for their home state, fighting Yankees form Vermont and weathering a cavalry flank attack without flinching.

But most glorious of all was the charge of the Georgia Hussars, clearing those Green Mountain horsemen from the Virginians' flanks with such elan!

"Hurrah! The Hussars!" shouted the Virginians and we repeat the same here, in this august journal.

Word has it hat General John Henry De Lamar Clayton is re-enforcing his Hussars with a new batch of recruits and that he is raising a second Hussar regiment from Alabama, known locally as the Alabama Hunters, to complement his fine legion.
