“Verily, it is a moving life we lead.”–Letters from Elisha Franklin Paxton.

Mount Jackson, April 2, 1862.

I stopped here on yesterday with the news that the enemy were advancing, and very soon got an order to move. We are now settled four miles north of New Market. Verily, it is a moving life we lead.
