Robert Cruikshank, letter
October 1, 1861
“This is a beautiful city and a fine surrounding country. We came in open freight cars and had a good view of the country. We passed over the Monocacy Creek Bridge which has been rebuilt since Jackson burnt it three weeks ago… The country here is most beautiful with good water. The enemy destroyed a great deal of property here.”
