Walther leads ongoing criminal probe of Rappahannock County government

By John McCaslin

Rappahannock News staff In the words of one source, “one question leads to another” in the ongoing criminal investigation surrounding Rappahannock County government procurement practices.

Speaking last week on condition of anonymity, the source told the Rappahannock News that the probe, which was launched by the Virginia State Police in February 2017 and is now in the lap of Culpeper County Commonwealth’s Attorney Paul Walther, remains an ongoing “criminal investigation.”

“It is ongoing, one question leads to another,” said the source, referring to Walther’s investigation as “criminal” in nature.

Circuit Court Judge Jeffrey W. Parker signed a written order on Nov. 13, 2017, naming Walther as special prosecutor in the case.

The appointment came after Rappahannock County Commonwealth’s Attorney Art Goff recused himself from the probe, telling the Circuit Court “that he is so situated with respect to the accused in this matter that it would be improper for him to act as Attorney for the Commonwealth in this case, and re-

quested that a special prosecutor be appointed.”

Referring to Walther’s subsequent investigation, the source declined to say whether charges are likely in the case.

“If there is an indictment” it would be handed down by a regular grand jury, the source stated.

Walther, the source continued, hopes to wrap up the investigative phase of the case “within a month or two” and then present his findings.

Acting as a full-time prosecutor, a commonwealth’s attorney — similar to a “district attorney” in other states — represents the citizens of

Virginia in prosecuting criminal matters.

Often a commonwealth’s attorney will appoint one or more assistants to handle cases under his or her supervision.

The “mandatory” state police probe was launched in February of last year in the wake of a letter that same month from Rappahannock County Treasurer Debbie Knick to the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors. Any such investigation is automatically triggered if there is suspicion of wrongdoing, intentional or not. ➤ See Walther, Page 6

BIZ BIO The People of Wellspring: Brian McAlary, MD After a distinguished medical career that includes serving as Director of Medical Corps Education and Training at the National Naval Medical Center, Brian G. McAlary decided to focus his talents on a new venture: the establishment of a pain management service and perioperative clinic within the Wellspring Health Services.

What’s “perioperative”? Though it may sound complicated, the idea behind a perioperative medicine clinic is simple: to guide patients through the surgery process by assisting in preparation, providing information on the upcoming surgery, and helping them to understand what to expect once they leave the surgical center. It boils down to a patient-centered approach committed to providing a wide range of support to anyone who faces surgery.

McAlary thinks the fit between his vision for care and the Wellspring approach couldn’t be better.

“Even during the earliest discussions with Dr. Khalid Athar, the founder of Wellspring, it became apparent to both of us that a community-based pain management and perioperative medicine

Brian McAlary, MD

clinic would fill two important health needs for a growing region,” McAlary said.

“The concept clearly fit with Wellspring’s efforts to grow a multi-specialty service based on a private practice model.”

In addition to his service in the Navy, McAlary brings an extensive civilian medical background to Wellspring, including experience starting acute and chronic pain management programs from the ground up. He holds a medical degree from Harvard Medical School, and maintains certifications in multiple areas, including quality assurance, healthcare quality management, and anesthesiology.

McAlary and his wife are recent transplants from the Chicago area, but look forward to what lies ahead in Culpeper.

“The region is beautiful, the people are friendly, and the small-town feel makes the Culpeper area a wonderful place to call home,” McAlary said.

UVA provides 1,000th Telestroke Consultation The Comprehensive Stroke Center at University of Virginia Health System recently performed its 1,000th telestroke consultation, enabling patients across Virginia to get treatment sooner and help prevent death or permanent disabilities.

“Our goal is to provide the exact same care via telestroke as you would receive walking through our doors at UVA,” said Nina Solenski, MD, director of UVA’s telestroke program, which is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The telestroke program works with six partner hospitals to offer access to specialists at the UVA Stroke Center via secure, live video conferencing: Augusta Health Bath Community Hospital Norton Community Hospital Novant Health UVA Health System Culpeper Medical Center Novant Health UVA Health System Haymarket Medical Center Novant Health UVA Health System Prince William Medical Center UVA’s acute stroke team features stroke neurologists, neurointensivists, neuroradiologists, neurosurgeons and specially trained stroke care nurses and information technology experts, all made available through the Karen S. Rheuban Center for Telehealth at UVA. As soon as a patient arrives in a partner hospital’s emergency room and a stroke is suspected, the UVA telestroke team can connect with the emergency room to quickly confirm a diagnosis and direct treatment via video. Fast, effective treatment for a stroke is critical to saving patients’ lives and preserving brain function; according to the American Stroke Association, an estimated 1.9 million neurons die each minute a stroke is not treated.

UVA now does approximately 35

to 40 telestroke encounters each month, with the majority of patients remaining at their home hospital for care.

That has included approximately 350 telestroke encounters at Augusta Health, which began its partnership with UVA in 2015.

Goodwin honored for distinguished performance

Alison Ellis (Editor's note: This is weekly series highlighting members of Culpeper's Youth Council. To join Culpeper Youth, go to www.culpeperyouth.org to apply.)

School: Culpeper County High School Grade: 9 Why I joined Culpeper Youth: When I joined Culpeper Youth, I had a goal to come into the group and spread love and energy to the community. I love Culpeper because of the diverse culture it brings. Also, I really enjoy the social events it has, and the people that live here. When I first found out about Culpeper Youth, I thought it would be a great way to get involved with the community while making a difference. I want to be as proactive as possible within the group, to build new friendships, and better our community. Also, I think it is unique because it is run by teens of Culpeper County. This means that we are able to have a voice for other teenagers who may be struggling.

In conclusion, I really look forward to the events and activities planned for Culpeper Youth.

Ideas To improve Culpeper: • Nutritional Food Fair • Festival of colors - to celebrate diversity • Event on goal-setting - to help teens accomplish tasks • Event on stress management.

CPD promotes three

By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer Three Culpeper Town Police officers were honored with promotions May 18.

Lt. Kevin Tooley, Sgt. Richard McKnight and Master Police Officer John Bahl were recognized for their years of service and dedication to helping the Culpeper community.

The Honorable Dale Durrer, Culpeper General District Court Judge, said the three officers have earned the respect of their peers and community.

Durrer, who will soon become judge of the 16th District Circuit Court, told the officers receiving the promotion that it is a testament to their moral obligation to the community.

“It’s your moral responsibility to build on what you’ve accomplished,” Durrer said.

He recounted the story of Victor Frankl, a Holocaust survivor who wrote the book “Man’s Search for Meaning.” Frankl spent three years in a concentration camp and when he entered he had the manuscript for his book destroyed. He rewrote the manuscript in his head and used observations from his time in the camp to add to it.

Durrer said that in today’s so-

ciety, the desire is to be happy but the purpose of our life - according to Frankl - is to give it meaning.

“The primary drive in this community is to give meaning to what you do,” Durrer told the three officers up for promotion.

He said that Frankl said the secret to success was meaning, humility and love.

“We live in pessimistic times,” Durrer said. “You have been placed where you are for a reason, to serve this community and make it better.”

He advised the officers to “find your why?” in what you’re going to do when it comes to serving the community, “it will get you through trying times,” he said.

“Once you find your purpose, once you find your meaning, you’re going to succeed,” Durrer said.

Following Durrer’s speech, Culpeper Town Manager Chris Hively and Mayor Mike Olinger praised the group for their work in making Culpeper a better place to live.

“I think this is the finest police force I’ve seen in the state of Virginia,” Olinger said.

Tooley, a 1990 Culpeper County High School graduate, joined the Culpeper Police Department in 1997. He left the department in 2006 to serve as a police instructor in Iraq but returned to the depart-

The town of Culpeper welcomed its newest park Tuesday.

Rockwater Park, located along Madison Road, is a 32-acre town property which features walking trails, parking lots, a pavilion and restrooms. There are future plans for a 15-hole Frisbee golf course and a connector trail to Sunset Lane.

The town purchased the property three years ago for $1.1 million for its water capacity and have spent several million dollars to develop wells on the site, that will add nearly 1 million gallons per day of drinking water, said Town Planner Charles Rapp.

“This is more of a passive recreation type of thing,” Rapp said. “The topography really limits itself to that too, as far as flattening it and having fields. This is more rolling hills. There’s a lot of bedrock here as well, which makes it challenging to develop. So we thought, let’s just work with what we have here.”

On Tuesday, a group of nearly 50 cut the ribbon for the parts of the park that are already accessible - the pavilion, the walking trail, the restrooms and the parking lot.

In the future, the park will add a 15-hole disc golf course, a connector trail to Sunset Lane and small splash pad for children.

Mayor Mike Olinger was pleased with the turnout of residents who are excited about the new recreational opportunities in the town.

“It’s always good to bring more recreation to the community,” Olinger said.

“This is something that’s been needed for years on this end of town. I’m happy.”

Prior to the town purchasing the land, more residential development was discussed for the 32-acre property.

“This is much better than a bunch of roof tops,” Olinger said.

Town manager Chris Hively said that expanding access to parks for town residents was one of the main conversations when it came to the development of Rockwater Park.

“If you look at the town of Culpeper, we have Yowell Meadow Park - a wonderful park - but it has walking connectivity to just a portion of the town,” Hively said.

“This park in this area provides a lot more folks connectivity into the park.”

One of the more anticipated coming attractions is the disc golf course, which will be the second in Culpeper County in addition to the existing course at Spilman Park in northern Culpeper County.

“Before we even knew there was one going in there we decided to put one in here,” Hively said. “We have the whole 32 acres and it was a great opportunity and it was something different we could offer in town.”

Hively said they’ve already received a lot of support for the disc golf course and expects all the holes to be sponsored.

The splash pad is still a ways off in the future, Hively said, but that plan is one children of Culpeper are extremely excited about.

“The splash pad, the whole reason for this property was well water sites,” Rapp said. “There’s two of those so we have ➤ See Park, Page 7

The investigation, state authorities said, examined spending and procurement activities beginning in 2016, with an eye toward possible misappropriation of funds by one or more Rappahannock County employees.

Virginia State Police Special Agent W.W. Talbert delivered the state’s findings to Goff in early September 2017. At that time, Talbert said the case would remain “open” until the commonwealth’s attorney decides to either prosecute or drop the charges.

Goff earlier this year also declined to answer whether appointing a special prosecutor, in this case Walther, meant that criminal charges are pending as a result of the Virginia State Police investigation.

“That’s up to the special prosecutor to determine,” Goff said.

Sgt. David Ostwinkle of the State Police Bureau of Legal Affairs described the general activity reported in Rappahannock County as “a misappropriation of public funds” and characterized potential damages or injuries as “currency embezzlement.”

Those connected with the case have declined to identify anybody who either might be targeted or are simply under scrutiny for carelessness.

HOME & GARDEN Spring fauna sightings WILD IDEAS

The forest canopy has closed, and most spring ephemeral wildflowers are done blooming and have disappeared under understory plants that are rising and expanding their foliage. Having enjoyed upland Virginia’s amazing spring wildflower show, it’s time to move on to my first love — critters.

Spring has been tough for some fauna, with unseasonably cold, dry weather getting them off to a slow start. Then came deluges of rain.

While it’s sorely needed, rain in this quantity can be difficult for wildlife, as one snapping turtle recently found out. I’d spotted this turtle several times over the last few weeks basking on a log at one

Pam Owen

of the lower ponds.

When the heavy rains came, the springs from up the mountain, which feed the ponds, sent a torrent down, adding to the rain coming directly from the skies.

The torrent apparently sent the turtle toward the overflow pipe, and the suction from the pipe turned the turtle into a stopper, albeit not an efficient one.

The turtle would have died there had my landlord, Tom, not seen it.

He managed to free the turtle by provoking it into snapping onto the hook at the end of a long pole he had with him to clear debris off the pipe, then shoving the turtle off the pipe. I’ve yet to see the turtle after this incident, so perhaps it moved on to less scary waters.

Other reptiles are also out, including box turtles. A few five-lined skinks have also been hunting and basking in warm spots ➤ See Wild, Page 9

➤ Wild, from Page 8 on the walls of my house and on my deck. This means snakes have also likely emerged, so I take extra care when navigating through high grass or the tangle on the forest edge.

On the amphibian front, pickerel frogs have bred and the banjo-like calling of green frogs is now coming from some of the many vernal pools on the property. Gray treefrogs are also trilling and hanging out at every tiny pool they can find, including the one in my landlords’ Scanoe.

The boat fills up every year from spring rain, and every year at least one hapless male treefrog decides to claim that potential breeding pool, not knowing just how ephemeral it is.

This species spends most of its life alone on trees. To attract females to the tiny, scattered ephemeral pools they often use for breeding, males have developed a loud call — amazingly loud for such a small species. Before my landlord emptied the water out of the boat, I took photos of one male calling from under the seat.

On the insect front, carpenter bees have been hovering on my deck for weeks, looking for mates and chewing holes in which to lay eggs. Swallowtail butterflies have been out for weeks, since they mostly rely on shrubs and trees that bloom and leaf out early for good and places to lay their eggs.

After rains, I often see swallowtails “puddling” at mud puddles along roads and trails.

With wildflowers starting to bloom in open areas, including native phlox along roads, butterfly activity is picking up.

The viburnum and wild hydrangea next to my house are about to pop, and the meadow phlox scattered around the yard should soon follow, all of which attract myriad pollinators every year.

Hundreds of Chinese mantis nymphs have been emerging from egg sacs I rescued earlier this spring. (More on that in an upcoming column.)

I’ve found huge millipedes — two to three inches long — on the forest floor, and ants busy building or renovating their nests in varied places.

Migratory songbirds have been passing through or settling in to breed. On April 13, a week later than usual, I sighted the first hummingbird at a feeder I put out a couple of weeks before. As is usually the case, the male was joined by others, then by females a couple of weeks later. Vying over food and access to females, the hummer males soon created a

Home & Garden

war zone around the feeder. Three males and two females appear to be sticking around, which is about the usual number here.

Myriad other birds are singing in the forests around my house early in the morning and in the evening. Familiar songs include the eastern towhee’s “drink-yourtea,” the indigo bunting’s “fire-fire, where-where, here-here” and the haunting, melodious song of the wood thrush.

With other, less-familiar birdsong coming from high in the canopy or deep in foliage, I’ve been spending a lot of time with my binoculars trying to spot the singers, using my birding apps to nail down identification.

A spring migrator new to me showed up in the copse next to my deck — a magnolia warbler. Its bold black, yellow and white feathers made it stand out against the green foliage in which it was hunting.

Like many other spring warblers, it soon moved on, probably to its species’ breeding grounds further south.

I spotted another male warbler that is more familiar, an American redstart, in the copse near my deck, where this species has been breeding in recent years. Again, its distinctive coloring — black, orange and white — helped it stand out from the surrounding foliage.

A scarlet tanager and a pair of Baltimore orioles also stopped by, likely on their way to the moreopen areas in which they breed.

In open places elsewhere in the county, I’ve seen rose-breasted grosbeaks, red-wing blackbirds, cowbirds and a host of other migratory songbirds that prefer that environment to the forest surrounding my house.

By April, male American goldfinches were starting to molt into their bright-gold breeding color. Other year-round residents, such as the northern cardinal, the Carolina wren, tufted titmouse and eastern phoebe add loud but lessmelodious notes to the morning and evening choruses.

Woodchucks are busy raising families, and whitetail does should be dropping their fawns soon.

Above my yard, bats have been going after the numerous winged insects that have how taken to the skies. To see some of these and other critters I’ve spotted so far this spring, check out the slideshow at rappnews.com/wildideas. © 2018 Pam Owen Pam Owen is a writer, editor, photographer, and passionate nature conservationist living in Rappahannock County, in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.

FILM • “The Winning Team” (Warner Bros., 1952) Ronald Reagan stars as major league pitcher Grover Cleveland Alexander (1887–1950) in this fictionalized biographical film directed by Lewis Seiler. Alexander struggled with illness and alcoholism, and was best known for leading the St. Louis Cardinals to victory in the 1926 World Series over a powerhouse New York Yankees team that included Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. The film focuses on Alexander’s relationship with his supportive wife (Doris Day) whose "teamwork'' helps Alexander through problems with alcohol and a lack of confidence. Known at the time primarily for musicals, Day only had one song in “The Winning Team,” but turned in a strong dramatic performance. Reagan trained with major league pitchers for the role who taught him "the difference between throwing from the mound and just throwing." 98 min.

VIEWS What to be done post op for rotator cuff?

THEM BONES AND JOINTS

Last month, I discussed the operative technique of repair rotator cuff tears to the bone of the humerus.

Today, I'm going to discuss the postoperative period and what needs to be done to get motion and yet protect the repair while doing so.

After I made tendon repairs on my patients, I insisted they wear an immobilizer for three weeks, keeping the hand and arm pointing straight ahead rather than across the chest.

I felt that letting the arm rest in a sling across the chest allowed the postoperative scar tissue to occur in the most inappropriate position thereby causing a longer rehabilitation for my patients.

What happens after the sling is removed is as important as the operation itself. Before the surgery, I always took time to teach my patients how to do the passive-motion exercises they would need to begin three weeks after the operation. It was important for them to know ahead of time how to do these exercises because many folks have trouble grasping them and needed practice to prepare. After I instructed them, I had them practice with me

Dr. Tom Neviaser

observing to be sure they understood.

With passive-motion exercises, the arm is moved about but without using the shoulder muscles connected to the repaired tendons.

The person is taught to bend from the waist, which relieves tension on the tendon repair, and sway the body to swing the totally limp arm forward and backward like a pendulum and then in a circular motion. Another passivemotion exercise calls for a rope-andpulley system.

With this method, the patient grasps the rope’s handle with the hand on the same side as the repaired shoulder, keeping the shoulder limp, and uses the opposite arm to pull the affected arm up and down (Fig. 15).

Still another method calls for lying on one’s back, holding a short pole or stick with both hands pointed at the ceiling, and, using the opposite arm, pushing or rotating the operated arm into an externally rotated (outward) position.

I always told my patients that once they completed their exercises, they should make a habit of keeping their hand on the operated side in a pocket rather than holding the arm across the chest. I stressed this because most people instinctively hold the affected arm across the chest to protect it and avoid any pain, but as scar tissue develops, motion can be severely restricted in this position. This is

also why I immobilized the arm in a neutral position after surgery. Patients' rehabilitation times were substantially reduced with this.

Remember, surgery always involves some bleeding—not massive, just an inevitable slight oozing during the operation and for a short time afterward—so the resultant clotted blood eventually becomes scar tissue or fibrosis.

Once that happens, if the arm is held too still across the chest, the scar tissue becomes rigid and tight, limiting motion away from the body and causing pain, somewhat like a rubbery glue that gives when stretched but draws back to its original length afterward. So if long periods pass without moving the arm from the cross-chest position, that rigid scar tissue will cause moving the arm freely in all directions difficult if not impossible.

After three weeks in the immobilizer, followed by nine more weeks of only passive-motion exercises, I had my patients begin active motions and exercises to strengthen the shoulder muscles. With active motion, the patient is encouraged to strengthen the shoulder muscles and regain a full range of motion by using those muscles.

There’s no point in continuing to protect the surgical area, because if the repair hasn’t healed after three months, protecting it further will usually be useless.

Staying safe during summer Summer is a time to be outdoors, whether you’re swimming at a pool, enjoying a cookout or playing sports.

To make sure you safely enjoy yourself, here are some tips for protecting yourself against the harmful effects of the sun and the summer heat.

Preventing Sunburn and Skin Cancer First, it’s best to avoid the hours of greatest sun intensity, which are typically 10 a.m.-4 p.m. You need to be particularly cautious when on water or sand, as these reflect the sun’s rays and can intensify the damage.

When you are outside, seek out shade or cover as much as you can.

When you do venture out into the sun, we encourage people to use a widebrimmed hat, which protects your ears and neck as well as your scalp. Picking the right clothes to wear - particularly tightly woven fabrics and darker colors

– can provide additional sun protection.

Sunglasses are important to help protect the skin around the eyes and may help prevent cataracts. Of course, we also strongly recommend protecting any exposed skin with sunscreen.

When choosing sunscreen it’s recommended that the sun protection factor (SPF) be at least 15, as sunscreens with a lower SPF have not been shown to prevent skin cancer. Typically an SPF of between 30 and 50 is recommended.

You should look for sunscreens that are labeled as broad spectrum, which will block both UVA and UVB rays. UVB rays are most associated with sunburn, while UVA rays also cause skin damage and premature aging of the skin.

Sunscreen should be reapplied every two to four hours, or more frequently if you’re in the water or sweat heavily.

Staying Cool Outdoors If you’re looking to get in an outdoor

workout, I would encourage you to avoid exercising during the hottest part of the day. Also keep in mind that on more humid days, your body will be less efficient at cooling itself, increasing your risk of heat illness.

Staying well hydrated is vitally important when exercising outside during the summer. Don’t wait until you feel thirsty to start replacing fluids, because at that point you are already dehydrated. Your body needs several days to acclimate to heat, so if you’re not accustomed to the heat and are starting to exercise outside, I would encourage starting slowly and gradually increasing your intensity over several days.

It’s important to know the signs of heat illness. Fatigue, muscle cramps, dizziness and nausea are all symptoms.

You also may notice profuse sweating with cool, clammy skin, or you may stop sweating altogether. If your symptoms ➤ See Summer, Page 21

TECHNOLOGY Cell phone companies sell your real-time location data Every month as I prep to write a technology focused article, I look for a story that is the biggest newsmaker to comment on or something that might not be getting the attention it deserves. The bulk of the past year has focused on lax cybersecurity measures and privacy rights. This month’s topic is no different, but is probably something that you haven’t heard of because it never hit mainstream media.

Cellular carriers in the U.S. are selling access to your real-time phone location. Additionally, Securus Technologies, a company that sells this data to law enforcement officials had usernames and passwords breached in May of this year.

Securus primarily advertises

DATA DUMP

John Barker

services that allow voice and video calls to inmates in

correctional facilities across the county. But a lesser known service they offer is selling location tracking to law enforcement.

They can track anyone’s cellphone without a court order. Securus advertises phone tracking even if the GPS location tracking is turned off in the phone.

Securus does not obtain the data directly from cell carriers but thru

*Guarantteed d nott to cllog for as long as you own your home, or we wiill cllean your guttters for free.

intermediaries that cover about 95% of the country. The intermediaries typically use the data to help us find a nearby store or track a package.

Securus sells a database tracking system that has records upwards of 200 million users. Law enforcement is required to submit paperwork for authorization, but according to multiple reports, nothing is ever validated and requests are always rubber stamped.

Another similar service called, Locationsmart, had a bug on their website that allowed real-time location tracking without end user consent. A “try before you buy” feature allowed you to test the accuracy of the tracking and was proven to find a phone within one block of its true location. Outside security consultants think it will

be very hard for Locationsmart to distinguish legitimate location requests from anyone exploiting the bug on the website.

Technology is far outpacing society’s ability to determine appropriate control measures with our personnel data. Legal loopholes or non-existent laws have turned what companies can do with your personal data into the “wild wild west”. Even though The Supreme Court has ruled that installing a GPS tracker on a vehicle requires a warrant or it is a violation of the 4th amendment, 95% of requests for cell phone tracking occur without a warrant.

According to the ACLU, many states do not have laws on tracking cell phones. Virginia is one of three states that have conflicting laws allowing state personnel to get historical data, such as where you were last week, while federal can get real time tracking.

HISTORY Letters home from William H. Stowe Editors’ Note: In commemoration of the 145th anniversary of the Battle of the Wilderness, Zann Nelson produced and directed a play called Somebody’s Darling based on the letters of William H. Stowe, 2nd Vermont Co F. The narrative, dialogue and letters will be republished for the Culpeper Times in a 4-part series. The dialogue between Mother and William was written specifically for the play while the style was taken directly from Stowe’s letters. John Tole of Rappahannock County was a major contributor to the narrative. A special thanks to Dennis Buttacavoli who owns the letters for allowing us to use them.

The Civil War is often called the defining period in the history of this country. Great questions were confronted and resolved, great leaders identified, great battles fought, and great ideals expressed.

The physical, psychological, and personal losses were equally enormous.

Somehow, from the complex mixture of heroism, conflict, and devastation came a stronger and more unified nation.

Two and a half million men and a few women served in the opposing armies while many, many more anxiously watched and waited at home, desperately hoping and praying for the safe return of a son, brother, sweetheart or friend. Their experiences are sometimes forgotten, overshadowed by the iconic leaders and the epic set-piece battles.

In late May 1861, 21-year-old William Hall Stowe of Calais, VT. enlisted in the Union Army leaving

ZANN’S PLACE Zann Nelson

behind his parents, Alonzo and Elizabeth, and younger siblings Lewis, Emily, and Hannah; William, together with his best friend Elijah Brown, joined the Capital Guards.

This unit would soon become Company F of the Second Vermont, the first of the three-year regiments from the Green Mountain state to answer President Lincoln’s call for volunteers.

Monday, June 24, 1861 excitement ran high at the train station in Burlington.

Approximately 860 officers and men of the 2nd Vermont Infantry anxiously waited to board the train bound for Washington, DC. Mother: William, will you not reconsider? Look at all those men: surely they have enough without you!

William: Mother, I hiv already made up my mind and anyway, Calais needs to be rightly represented. Would you have me be a loafer? Lorenzo and Theo both have wives but they is thinking about jernin’ up.

Mother: Don’t talk to me of your brothers; they moved away and missing them is awful, now you! The next thing I know Lewis will want to go, too. What will become of us?

William: Oh, Mother, frettin’ will surly mek you sick. The war aint gunna las long and in a few months I will be back to help on the farm. I bet you will hardly even miss me.

William: Look, there is Elijah, now. I bes be going.

On July 21 less than one month after leaving home, Stowe and his comrades participated in the first major battle of the Civil War at Manassas, Va. Two days later, after William’s first face-to-face encounter with the reality of combat, he wrote home with bravado and an upbeat spirit.

July 23, 1861 Elexandry, VA

Dear friends one and all, I thought that I would let you know that I am well and alive, as yet last Sunday was a day that I shall not forget as long as I live.

It started about seven oclock in the morning and lasted 9 hours. We cant tell how many is killed but I should think there was 3 thousand killed or wounded.

The worst is we got whiped the worst kind. All the way from elexandry to Manasas the road was lined with batrys and they would open on us and cut us down like

grass.

They cant brag much, though, for they lost more men then we did.

Our regiment was the last to leve and the hardest of it is we had to go and leave our boys on the field.

I shant rite any more about the battle, tell the boys of Calais that here is the place to do their fighting.

They think that if they blow about it that is enough. If I get back to Calais I shall talk to them.

Please rite soon. your son Wm Stowe” Until next week, be well..
