Confederate "Slave Hunt" in Pennsylvania

From the June 30, 2013, Pittsburgh (Pa.) Post Gazette.

In June 1863, Brigadier General Albert Jenkins' cavalry, in Lee's vanguard, galloped into Pennsylvania not only to spy and steal supplies, but also to round up blacks as contraband.

Lee had issued specific orders to his troops not to act as Union soldiers had in the South.

It is estimated that around 1,000 blacks were taken.
