("All of you have heard Ma and Pa talk of Milroy, the Yankee General. 
He is a very bad man. No one where I lived had a good word for him. 
He took away all the horses, cows,pigs and chickens of poor people as 
well as rich people. He was a brute to women, old men like me; and 
did not care what became of little boys and girls. If he did not like 
their fathers, he would seize them, and burn their houses and fences. 
Ruin and this Milroy were great friends. Well, I lived in the Valley 
of Virginia . . .")   Parrish 6245.   $475.00
