the brunt of action and is entitled to most thanks." August 26, 1862. General Trimble, with
a force of five hundred men, was voluntarily detached from Jackson's army, and, in co-opera-
tion with a portion of Stuart's cavalry, captured a vast quantity of quartermaster's
commissary and ordnance stores at Manassas Junction, which was then far in the rear of
the Federal Army. His loss was but fifteen men wounded, and the capture amounted to
eight guns and three hundred prisoners, besides the immense stores. General Trimble was
twice severely wounded — once at the second battle of Manassas, and at Gettysburg, where
he was taken prisoner. At Gettysburg he commanded Major-General Fender's Division.
