If We Only Save The Finger Of

General, If You Put Every Union Soldier Now On The Other Side Of The Potomac On That Field To Approach Me Over The Same Line, I Will Kill Them All Before They Reach My Line.

Why Do Men Fight Who Were Born To Be Brothers?

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?

My Arm Is Paralyzed; My Voice That Once Could Be Heard All Along The Line, Is Gone; I Can Scarcely Speak Above A Whisper; My Hearing Is Very Much Impaired, And Sometimes I Feel As If I Wished The End Would Come; But I Have Some Misrepresentations Of My Battles That I Wish To Correct, So As To Have My Record Correct Before I Die.

If The Entire Union Army Comes Across Here, I Will Kill Them All!
