Lemuel Abijah Abbott: July 21, 1864

Major Lemuel Abijah Abbott

We marched through Leesburg with stars and stripes waving and bands playing national airs, something unusual for us to do without it's a large place. Rumor says that our rear guard burned the place, but I don't believe it, although it has the reputation of being strongly rebel -- a regular hotbed.

—Lemuel Abbott, 10th Regiment Vermont Volunteer Infantry , Co. B & D
