The Bivouac and the Battle-Field, or Campaign Sketches in Virginia and Maryland (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Bivouac and the Battle-Field, or Campaign Sketches in Virginia and Maryland
Such a Sketch will, of course, have its dark shades of sadness mingled with the bright colorings of joy, its defeats as well as its victories, its dispiriting re treats as well as its jubilant advances, its awful visions of the battle-field strewn with the unburied dead as well as its cheerful evenings around the camp-fire. A campaign is, in fact, an epitome of ordinary life minus the refining, elevating, and Christianizing influence of our women and little children; of ordinary life nunat urally excited and exaggerated, with its usual experi ences so overstrained, and following Upon each other in such rapid succession as to carry us sometimes in a single day through the whole gamut of sensations, and give to a week the significance of months. So it hap pens that, in looking over my little diary, I have not yet been able to realize that the scenes herein de scribed were all compressed within so brief a period. Years, long years they seem to me to have occupied; and, if time be measured not so much by the mere pul sations of the bodily machine as by our inner sensa tions and experiences, years they certainly were.
