EXCERPTS FROM THE GLENGARY McDONALDS by Flora McDonald
"Early in June, 1861, I left Winchester to join my father at Romney, mounted on the horse which Jimmie Clark had presented to him, in company with Dr. Scott of Richard Ashby's company. That ride of forty-two miles convinced me that I was a soldier, Which conviction was materially strengthened, when I was assigned to headquarters as Pa's personal orderly; and I at once assumed the duties of Inspector General of everything going on in camp."

"The Confederates finally evacuated the Valley and I did not see my father again until about August, '63. When we heard the booming of the cannon at the battle of Kernstown, Harry and I made all haste to get on the scene and had many adventures. And while we saw all the battles that were fought around Winchester at pretty close range, no lack of care can be charged to Mother on that account."

"I was starting with her to church on the morning of the battle of Kernstown, she turned back at the door for something, and hearing the roar of the artillery. I made a break for the front gate and she did not see me again until late that night. I met Harry on the road and we joined teams and spent the day on the field."

"My father left Lexington on the morning of June 12th. 1864, to avoid being captured by Hunter, who was approaching with a large force, and as he left the house he put his hand on my head and said, `My son, I leave your mother and your sister and the younger children in your charge, and I am sure you will do your duty.' Harry was to accompany him."

"He left Louisville in 1896 and took up his residence in San Francisco. For a number of years he was on the editorial staff of the San Francisco Call, but after the earthquake there, he accepted a position with the California State Board of Development, as its Secretary, which he still holds."

"in his early manhood seriously contemplated studying for the ministry; he was for a long time, lay-reader at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, under Dr. Shield's pastorate."
