| Learning that Patterson was
again preparing to cross the Potomac, Jackson was sent with his brigade
to the vicinity of Martinsburg to support the cavalry, and at the same
time protect and aid an agent of the government who was sent to select
and remove locomotives from the Baltimore & Ohio railroad shops at
Martinsburg, hauling them with horses along the turnpike through
Winchester to the Manassas Gap railroad at Strasburg. Jackson was also
instructed to destroy all Baltimore & Ohio rolling stock that could not
be brought away. |
