Quotes

  • Our loss was not a scratch to man or horse.
  • Gentlemen, in ten minutes every man must be in his saddle!
  • Our Southern ideals of patriotism provided us with the concepts of chivalry. I tried to excell in these virtues, but others provided a truer interpretation of gallant conduct. A devoted champion of the South was one who possessed a heart intrepid, a spirit invincible, a patriotism too lofty to admit a selfish thought and a conscience that scorned to do a mean act. His legacy would be to leave a shining example of heroism and patriotism to those who survive.
  • Old Joe Hooker, will you come out of the Wilderness!
  • Charge! And remember Jackson!
  • While rashness is a crime, boldness is not incompatible with caution, nay, is often the quintessence of prudence.
