To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
13 is not likely to be picked up in two or three years of mili- tary service ; yet for that knowledge only a very high order of military genius can offer an available substitute.
We must, therefore, it seems to me, consider that volun- teer officer of the War of the Rebellion most fortunate who attained, and with credit held, the position of a division commander, without being tried in any higher rank. In this was honor enough for any citizen-soldier, were he the first citizen of his State or o...f the nation. Here he could exert all his powers, vrith the least danger of compromising his command through his own unskilfulness or lack of tech- nical knowledge in some sudden and critical emergency. If such a view of the situation would have been truly wise for any soldier from civil life, it was one which peculiarly com- mended itself to General Devens' temperament and dispo- sition. The eager ambition which actuated many men of his rank was wholly foreign to him. He had no dreams of martial fame.
