Grant and Sheridan are in town, no news from home. ------------------------------ August 6, Saturday. A very pleasant cool morning with an occasional shower in the evening, started downtown and visited some lady friends, also sent by mail an album as a present for Judith. Exciting rumor that the Rebel invading force in the state of Pennsylvania have raised the Black Flag, Gen. Grant and Sheridan are in town. [1.] No news from home. Note: 1. When Grant took command of all the U.S. Armies in Feb. 1864, his plan was to coordinate an total offensive which would keep a constant pressure on the Confederacy, to in essence squeeze the life out of the rebellion. One of the gravest threats was in the Shenandoah Valley against the railroads that supplied the southern nation. In order to alleviate this pressure, Lee sent Jubal Early’s (1816-1894) 2nd Corps north towards the valley in June 1864 which at the same time presented a threat to Washington DC. Lee was quite aware of how sensitive Lincoln and Stanton were to any perceived attack on the capital city. Early’s raid went from June to August. The reference to the ‘Black flag’ (no quarter) in Pennsylvania was probably the burning of Chambersburg by Brig.Gen.John McCausland’s cavalry by order of Jubal Early on July 30,1864.
