Excerpt from Billy Hamilton: A Novel It is night on the Potomac - the night of the 4th of September of the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and sixty-two; when one man's hand is against another man's hand; when the shadow of a bush may conceal a Confederate sharpshooter; when the light of a firefly may develop into the flash of an Enfield whose whistling bullet will bring death - this night when I, William Fairfax Hamilton, captain in command of a troop of the First Union Kentucky Cavalry, am guarding Norton's Ford on the Upper Potomac, and preventing the carrying of goods contraband of war, medicines for the Confederate service, despatches from Washington spies, and the crossing of innocent Maryland farmers into Virginia to give the Southern generals notice of our movements. In addition to this, my instructions specially charge me to furnish, by courier riding for his life, the earliest news of the crossing of the advance divisions of the Confederate army under Stonewall Jackson, now expected to invade Maryland. The bulk of my command occupies a knoll covered with second growth of pine and fir, distant fifty yards from the river, along whose banks my sentries are placed.
