General McPherson fell in battle, booted and spurred, as the gallant and heroic gentleman should wish.
I have heard of brave acts, but such determined pluck I never before dreamed of.
There was no strategy nor tactics in this battle; it was simply men standing up and giving and taking, and the one that stood the longest won the battle.
The men, if properly officered, would make good soldiers, but with their present officers they are little better than an armed mob.
