To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To one who knew him, an ignoble act would have been inconsistent with his character. He could be depended upon in any event and through any provocation to act the part of a manly man.
AN ARMY LED, NOT DRIVEN I could realize, as many others could not, what Gen- eral Grant's example and spirit had wrought in that army. Only a few months before I was a soldier in the ranks. And as I lay, broken and bleeding, upon a battlefield, I had seen the flag, for which I had sworn to die — and for which 16 G...RANT'S TRIBUTE TO LINCOLN just then, I wanted to die, — borne off the field, in retreat, in the face of the enemy. And the boys who were bearing it away were as brave as the best, as willing, as anxious to die defending it. There was no panic, no haste. I had a grim satisfaction in that. These comrades of mine were not being driven; they were being led. It was deemed "expedient" that they should "retire. " That was only one incident in the experience of the Army of the Potomac. For hundreds of years we descendants of fighting men had been trained — through our ancestors — to face our foes; to stand and take a knockout blow; to get up and take or give another; to die, if we must, in our tracks.
