  • To the military I submitted myself
  • You have crowned yourselves with glory
  • It was literally a leap in the dark
  • We struck out on our own responsibility
  • A perfect tornado of shots was fired at us
  • It was a grand and imposing ovation
  • The whiskey was still abundant
  • The fame and glory of Morgan's command
  • This was a hard-fought field
  • Our march was cautious
  • The scene was ludicrous and pitiful
  • I was captured for the last time
  • The days dragged slowly by
  • With three days' rations, we started home.
