  • Our gloomy Presbyterian ideas encourage fear of God, not love for him.

  • Jackson was not a religious man when he came to Lexington.

  • But the admiration for Jackson was by no means confined to his own soldiers and to his own section.

  • Those who have happy homes seldom turn out badly.

  • Train our children to love God.

  • Let our children be taught love love love.

  • We were lavish of blood in those days, and it was thought to be a great thing to charge a battery of artillery or an earthwork lined with infantry.

  • The vast army of McClellan spread out before me. The marching columns extended back as far as eye could see in the distance. It was a grand and glorious spectacle, and it was impossible to look at it without admiration.

  • As each brigade emerged from the woods, from 50 to 100 guns opened upon it, tearing great gaps in its ranks; but the heroes pressed on and were shot down by reserves at the guns. It was not war, it was murder.

  • There was a nuisance in the service known as the army correspondent.

  • It was not war, it was murder.
