Excerpt from Under Both Flags: A Panorama of the Great Civil War, as Represented in Story, Anecdote, Adventure, and the Romance of Reality
While the months to years are fleeting like a river's ceaseless flow. And the landmarks old grow dimmer in the distant long ago, Let us glance once more behind us. Where our battle days were seen, Where our blood, like holly berries. Sprinkled thick the grassy green.
