Colonel Charles Russell Lowell, who was shot from his horse during the Federal counterattack at Cedar Creek, is shown here with his wife while on leave. In one of his last letters to her, Lowell shared a dire premonition: "I don't want to be shot until I've had a chance to come home," he wrote. "I have no idea that I shall be hit, but I want so much not to be now, that it sometimes frightens me."
