To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Night and day he visited and comforted them, himself always, when near it, laboring under some of the symp- toms of the disease. Feeble in body, he was yet almost constantly in attendance on the afflicted. Great were his efforts to prevent the spread of the disease, and to over- come the symptoms of panic, scarcely less to be dreaded than the original calamity, which from time to time were exhibited. The mortality was appalling, but at length, on the 8th of September, the infection disappeared....
To Scott's humane and generous conduct, throughout this terrible battle with pestilence, both at Rock Island and on the Lakes, we have the testimony of one who was an eye-witness, and whose situation made him in all re- spects disinterested. We shall quote his own ..words — a language as reliable as that of official documents.
He says that " the general's course of conduct on that occasion should establish for him a reputation not inferior to that which he has earned in the battle-field ; and should exhibit him not only as a warrior, but as a man — not only as the hero of battles, but as the hero of humanity.
