COPYRIGHT, , PATRIOT PUB. CO. IN THE HEART OF THE HOSTILE COUNTRY—MAY, 1862 As the secret-service men sit at Follens house, near Cumberland Landing, all is ready for the advance to the Chickahominy and toRichmond. The scouts and guides are aware that there is hard and dangerous work before them. Their skilful leader, whom theyknow as Major Allen, sits apart from the group at the table, smoking his pipe and thinking hard. He must send his men into theConfederate lines to find out how strong is the opposing army. Probably some of them will never come back. The men were new tothe work, and had not yet learned to approximate the numbers of large masses of troops. Thus it happened that Pinkerton greatlyoverestimated the size of the Army of Northern Virginia, and McClellan acted as if dealing with an overwhelming opponent. Hadhe discovered that he greatly outnumbered the Confederates, the war in the East might have been ended by the 1st of July, 1862.
