The Battle of Ox Hill/Chantilly

The tales of Chantilly are legend,
From Indian days of yore,
Through the three wars of the area,
Through the last century of more.
But the most haunting tale of Chantilly,
Lies east, 60 minute drill,
But the Union troops who were marching,
Didn't know about Ox Hill.
The ambush was a classic,
A pincer, or the like.
Two Generals went down that day,
In a bayonet-wielding fight.
Many lives were lost that day,
For what, we cannot say,
But October 1, 1862,
Was one helluva miserable day.
