| Keywords: snow blackandwhite drawing outdoor sketch black and white (from Frank Leslie's Illustrated History of the Civil War..., edited by Louis Shepheard Moat, Published by Mrs. Frank Leslie,New York, 1895) "General Schenck and four companies of the First Ohio Regiment were approaching Vienna, Va., on June 17th, 1861, by railroad, when, on turning a curve, they were fired upon by masked batteries of three guns, with shells, round shot and grape, killing and wounding the men on the platform and in the cars before the train could be stopped. The engine then became damaged and could not draw the train out of the fire, so the soldiers left the cars and retired through the woods. They retreated slowly, bearing off the wounded about five miles away, where they made a stand, awaiting re-enforcements."
