It Will Be All Right If It

The Colored Man Has Been Accustomed All His Life To Lean On The White Man, And If A Good Officer Is Placed Over Him, He Will Learn Readily And Make A Good Soldier.

Although A Soldier By Profession, I Have Never Felt Any Sort Of Fondness For War, And I Have Never Advocated It, Except As A Means Of Peace.

A Military Life Had No Charms For Me, And I Had Not The Faintest Idea Of Staying In The Army Even If I Should Be Graduated, Which I Did Not Expect.

Everyone Has His Superstitions. One Of Mine Has Always Been When I Started To Go Anywhere, Accomplished.

Ah, You Know My Weaknesses--my Children And My Horses.
