July 25, 1862---Virginia is for muggers



JULY 25, 1862:           

General John Pope U.S.A. issues another order guaranteed to alienate Southerners, announcing that Federal troops will no longer be used to protect the property of northern Virginians. This means that civilians in Pope’s command region are at the mercy of brigands, raiders, outlaws, and misbehaving Federal soldiers as well.
