Grenville Dodge: “As an Army, the Army of the Tennessee never sustained a single defeat during four years of war.”

There is an element in this country that already has no use for the soldier of the Civil War.

The right side is beginning to get a hearing, and when the facts and causes for the action of the Army are generally known, it will be found that our Army is as humane and well-behaved a body of troops as ever went into a foreign country…

It is the duty of every companion here, as well as of every good citizen, to enter his protest against these unjust attacks.

In view of all the facts, I must doubt the sincerity of those who are seeking to bring discredit upon our little Army, the marvellous efficiency of which has won the admiration of the world.
