This Is A Hard Fight And We

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

I Have Been A Soldier All My Life. I Have Commanded Companies, I Have Commanded Regiments. I Have Commanded Divisions. And I Have Commanded Even More. But There Are No Fifteen Thousand Men I The World That Can Go Across That Ground.

The Passions Of The Titanic Struggle Will Finally Enter Upon The Sleep Of Oblivion, And Only Its Splendid Accomplishments For The Cause Of Human Freedom And A United Nation, Stronger And Richer In Patriotism Because Of The Great Strife, Will Be Remembered.

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.

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.
