>From The American Sentinel; Westminster, MD
Summary: The Frederick Union paper said that the Rebel soldiers who came with Lee and Jackson expressed disappointment with their reception by the citizens of Maryland. The Confederate army thought it would be hailed as heroes and that vast numbers of recruits would join its ranks. That was not the case. The Sentinel says that Southern sympathizers turned their backs on the Rebel soldiers and that it was Union supporters who often fed the hungry, poorly-clad soldiers. The army did much damage as it passed through, both to private and public property. Many farmers lost fences and had crops destroyed or horses stolen. "The track of this army through our county was marked by desolation and death on all sides." The Sentinel remarks that many of the Rebel soldiers were "sick and tired of the service and anxious to leave it." There have been numerous desertions.
