To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
169 fore leaving there Kent and Andrews had put in charge of the young ladies two bottles of cham- pagne, to be given to General J. E. B. Stuart, commanding the Confederate cavalry and their classmate at West Point, when he should come that way.
On our return we went in with our cavalry, and the rebel cavalry skirmished out as we came in. We proceeded at once to the friendly Virginia mansion ; the fair ladies ushered us into the dining-room, and there were the champagne bottles and the heel tap...s in the glasses, where Stuart and his staff had been drinking the health of his old chums but a very few minutes before. There are few amenities in a civil war to record, but when Stuart died a soldier's death soon after, rather sadness than exultation was felt at 6th corps headquarters.
While in this camp, moved by the splendid suc- cess of the Vermont brigade, kept in full ranks by the pride of their State, I made a strong effort to have a Maine brigade formed and at- tached to the corps. Generals Sedgwick and Meade approved the idea cordially, and it was intended to take the 5th, 6th, and 7th Maine, already in the corps, to join them to the 29th, General Beal, and the 30th, General Fessenden, just ready to leave the State.
