Butler and His Cavalry, 1861-65, pg 90
One dark night in the early part of 1863, Isaac Curtis, General Lee's famous scout, and Bolick, one of General Butler's scouts, dressed themselves up, each in a Yankee officer's uniform and rode by the Federal pickets right into the camp of the 8th ILL Cavalry Regiment, within 150 yards of General Mead's headquarters and awoke five men from their slumber in this gallant old regiment, ordered them to be very quiet while saddling their horses as they were needed for a special purpose. The order was promptly obeyed and after they had passed the Yankee pickets, going out back to our lines with their Yaks, one of them said to Curtis: "Ain't we prisoners?" and just as he said it, put spurs to his horse and away he went into the darkness. The other were told if they ran they would surely be killed. So the two scouts brought four men in blue, four nice horses with the usual brand U.S. on the left shoulder of each, four army saddles, bridles, blankets, carbines, amy pistols, and four oil cloths. Not a shot was fired. This was simply a display of nerve and will power.

Lieutenant-Colonel John D Twiggs, of the First South Carolina Cavalry, rode one of these fine horses until he was killed.

Oct 31, 1863 Affair near Weaverville, Va, Report of Private William A Bolick, First South Carolina Cavalry, with commendation of General Robert E Lee, C S Army
November 1863
Saturday morning, Octoer 31, at sunrise, Private Isaac Curtis, of the Ninth Virginia Cavalry Regiment and myself passed the enemy's pickets, stationed at a mill near Weaverville, entering the enemy's camp, passing their pickets after daylight, whistling so as not to cause suspicion. We were disguised in Yankee overcoats.

Going to the house of Mrs Weaver, in Weaverville, we saw a sentinel in the front yard. We passed him without his noticing us in rear of the house. We discovered three Yankee tents. Riding around to these tents we dismounted and proceeded to capture 6 Yankees who were asleep in them, and 6 horses, which we made them saddle and mount, and then rode back in the same direction, whistling as we passed the pickets. These men were a cattle guard, and were well armed.

We brought out 3 pistols, 1 carbine, and 1 saber. We were unable to bring off the cattle for the want of men enough to drive them. One of the Yankees escaped afer we had passed the pickets of the enemy. The other 5 were delivered at Richards' Ford.

General Meade's headquarters were near Weaverville--in less than 800 yards. The capture was made about sunrise in the morning.
Respectfully submitted.
