A Union Man Recalls the Day JEB Stuart's Troopers Arrived at His Pennsylvania Home

During the evening of Oct. 10, 1862, three citizens of Chambersburg, Pa., surrendered the town to Confederate Gen. Wade Hampton. He was part of a 1,800-strong cavalry force commanded by Gen. JEB Stuart. One of the citizens who surrendered the town, Alexander Kelly McClure, was a prominent newspaper editor, politician, and Union army major tasked with recruitment. Hampton told McClure he should go to his home, and, if any Confederate attempted to arrest him for being a U.S. officer, that Hampton would come to his aid. McClure describes what happened next.
