The Education Of A Man Is Never

It Is Good That War Is So Horrible, Or We Might Grow To Like It.

It Is Well That War Is So Terrible. We Should Grow Too Fond Of It.

I Have Fought Against The People Of The North Because I Believed They Were Seeking To Wrest From The South Dearest Rights. But I Have Never Cherished Toward Them Bitter Or Vindictive Feelings. And Have Never Seen The Day When I Did Not Pray For Them.

But What A Cruel Thing Is War To Separate And Destroy Families And Friends.

There Is Nothing Left For Me To Do But To Go And See General Grant And I Would Rather Die A Thousand Deaths.
