Return of Wounded Soldiers of the Federal Army Captured at Bull Run–Scene in Hampton Roads on Board the United States Steamer ‘Louisiana’ to which they were Transferred, under a Flag of Truce, October 7th, 1861
(from Frank Leslie’s Illustrated History of the Civil War…, edited by Louis Shepheard Moat, Published by Mrs. Frank Leslie, New York, 1895)
“The United States steamer Express met by agreement the Confederate steamer Northumberland with a flag of truce, about twelve miles above Newport News, and brought down fifty-seven wounded prisoners who had been captured at Bull Run and taken to Richmond. Their release was not due to the magnanimity of the Confederate authorities, but rather to their inability to supply their wants.”
