Légende

The Last Days of the Confederate Government - the flight of the Confederates: Sudden Alarm and Stampede, 1865. '...from a sketch by our special artist...[showing] the scene presented by a sudden alarm, or stampede, which was a very frequent occurrence owing to the proximity of the Federal cavalry, who were frequently within three miles of the camp of the flying [ie fleeing] President. A scout had only to dash in and give the alarm when everything went helter-skelter along the road - President, Ministers, cavalrymen, four-muled waggons, and terrified negro servants, all jumbled up together'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865.
