Civil War Quotes

I have never on the field of battle sent you where I was unwilling to go myself, nor would I now advise you to a course which I felt myself unwilling to pursue. You have been good soldiers.

One does every day and without a second thought, what at another time would be the event of a year, perhaps of a life Picture Quote #1

I have never in my life taken a command into battle and had the slightest desire to come out alive unless I won Picture Quote #1
