blockhouse-line

Updated: June 21, 2025

Well, we did. But our horses, which had to live on the tender grass-shoots, needed a rest very badly; we could hardly use them. Besides, there was a blockhouse-line to pass the following night, and this one was still 24 miles off. We proceeded another three miles, to be at least four miles from that column. At about 2.30 we off-saddled.
