The Civil War in America: attack on the pickets of the Garibaldi Guard on the east branch of the Potomac - from a sketch by our special artist, 1861. 'Our Special Artist writes as follows: "A few nights since I was sleeping in a tent close by the camp of the Garibaldi Guard, when there was an alarm. A party of Secessionists had crossed the river under favour of darkness, and were firing on the pickets. I turned out with the rest, and came up with the supports in time to see the Secessionists retire to the woods. One of the Garibaldi Guard received a bullet wound in his leg. This corps is made up of Germans, Italians, French, and Swiss, with a few Hungarians. Their uniform is a close imitation of the Sardinian bersaglieri".' From "Illustrated London News", 1861.
