The cavalry and artillery crossed at once by the ford, as well as a portion of the infantry, the latter wading almost to the armpits. But the construction of the bridge was soon temporarily completed by Gens. Geary and Kane; and the rest of the troops and the pack-mules passed safely, by the light of huge bonfires lighted on the banks. The men were in the highest possible spirits, and testified to their enjoyment of the march by the utmost hilarity.

Autorenporträt
Theodore Ayrault Dodge was an American officer, merchant, and military historian who lived from May 28, 1842, to October 26, 1909. As a writer, he was passionate with the American Civil War and the great generals of ancient and European history. He served as a Union officer in the conflict. He was born in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, attended University College London and the University of Heidelberg, and underwent military training in Berlin. He quickly volunteered as a private in the New York volunteer infantry upon his return to the United States in 1861. He became a brevet lieutenant-colonel during the Civil War and lost the lower part of his right leg at the Battle of Gettysburg. In 1866, he received a commission in the regular army after beginning his service at the War Department in 1864. He retired in 1870, with the rank of major, and moved to Boston. He made investments in several businesses that tried to produce hydraulic hoses but failed. In 1884, he established the Boston Woven Hose and Rubber Company, based on a new tubular loom that James E. Gillespie and Robert Cowen had invented. After relocating to Paris, he passed away there. In Arlington, Virginia's Arlington National Cemetery, he was laid to rest.
