General, If You Put Every Union Soldier

Time Sets All Things Right. Error Lives But A Day. Truth Is Eternal.

There Was No Indication Of Panic. The Broken Files Marched Back In Steady Step. The Effort Was Nobly Made And Failed From The Blows That Could Not Be Fended.

I Fancy That No Good Ideas Upon That Campaign Will Be Mentioned At Any Time That Did Not Receive Their Share Of Consideration By General Lee.

The Next Time We Met Was At Appomattox, And The First Thing That General Grant Said To Me When We Stepped Inside, Placing His Hand In Mine Was, Pete, Let Us Have Another Game Of Brag, To Recall The Days That Were So Pleasant. Great God! I Thought To Myself, How My Heart Swells Out To Such Magnanimous Touch Of Humanity. Why Do Men Fight Who Were Born To Be Brothers?

I Hope To Live Long Enough To See My Surviving Comrades March Side By Side With The Union Veterans Along Pennsylvania Avenue, And Then I Will Die Happy.
