June 22, 1862---A battle brewing...



JUNE 22, 1862:          

An Associated Press dispatch reports from the Virginia field headquarters of Union General George B. McClellan that "this has been a remarkably quiet day, considering the close proximity of the two contending forces."  

But the AP also reported that there had been "brisk skirmishing" the previous day and concludes: "everything indicated that a general engagement was at hand."
