To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Smith, with a cavalry division under General Kautz.
This army numbers, in infantry. . . , 31,872 men.
Guns, 82 , . 2,126 men.
Cavalry, 6 guns 4.701 men.
Total, 88 guns 38,699 men.
In General Butler is found one of the most eminent ex- amples of the " Political General " in high command dur- ing the Civil War. At the outbreak of the war, as an am- bitious politician of the Democratic Party in Massachusetts, he quickly secured rank as a major-general, although he was a lawyer without experience o...r knowledge of the art of war. He first secured independent command in the riotous city of Baltimore and later at Big Bethel where, in June, 1861, in an insignificant skirmish, he was ignominiously beaten, due to lack of plan or soldierly knowledge. B}; issuing his famous order referring to the negroes as " Con- traband of war," he attempted at the very outset of his adventure in the field of war to make our great national conflict serve his personal political ambitions. Later in the same year Butler commanded at New Orleans after the 272 THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG taking of that city by Farragut, and administered in such manner as to win for him the lasting hatred of its in- habitants and the suspiciously derisive smile of all others who became acquainted with the real history of his ad- ministration.
