At eleven our brigade commenced the crossing, and by two got fairly on the march again. After twleve that night we reached Piedmont, when the men got food, only the second meal since leaving Winchester. Saturday, however, we remained, the railroad dispatching troops with horrid inefficiency. At two A. M. Sunday morning we got on the cars; a train ran off - water gave out - men were called for to shovel water in trough with spades, and had it not been for Col. Fisher of 6th N. C. I do not know when we should have got off. His energy and experience got us started, and at eleven we reached a point some three miles from Manassas, Gen. E. K. Smith commanding his brigade, and Elzey's our Maryland one as General of Division. Then none of Smith's men had arrived, and taking command of the Marylanders, who were first formed, he led off, followed by the Tennessee 3d, Col. Vaughan, and Virginia 10th, Colonel Gibbons, and a light battery under Lieut. Beckham."

Richmond Examiner (Richmond, Henrico County, Virginia), 17 August, 1861 - The battle of Manassas: Letter from an officer in the Maryland Brigade to his wife

"A number of independent companies formed in Maryland since the commencement of the war, have crossed the Potomac. Some have joined the Maryland regiment of Zouaves, whose headquarters were at Richmond, and others united their fortunes with Virginia regiments; while hundreds from Baltimore and other portions of the State have gone over in their individual capacity, and help'd to fill up the ranks of Virginia companies, so that, to a certain expert, the separtae identity of Maryland, in properly organised regiments, is lost. The following are amoung those which the State has furnised: First Regiment Maryland Volunteers - Colonel, Arnold Elzey; Lieut. Col., George Steuart; Major, Bradley T. Johnson; Quartermaster, John Baker Howard.."

Biographical sketches of distinguished Marylanders, by Esmeralda Boyle

"The regular uniform finally adopted by the Guards was that known as Zouave, or French Zouave. It was blue in colour, light in weight, loose fitting, and bright, perhaps rather brilliant, and while it might have been detracted from solidity in appearance, yet it admitted of great freedom and quickness in movement and action, features that commended themselves very highly to most men."

The Maryland Guard Battalion (Read before the Society 10 April, 1911: Maryland Historical Magazine Volume VI, June 1911, No.2: by Isaac F Nicholson, First Corporal, Maryland Guard Battalion, Company G

"By 10 P.M. Saturday, 20 July, when the train returned to Piedmont, Smith's Fifth Brigade had not yet reached the station, but Elzey's had, partys of it arriving on the morning of that day. Thanks to some delays, Smith did not get Elzey's command, along with the Sixth Norh Carolina, aboard until nearly 3 A.M., 21 July. Obviously fearing that any further wait would make him miss the battle, Smith acompanied Elzey's brigade and, being senior to the Marylander in rank, he effectively took command of the brigade."
