Courage - A Perfect Sensibility

After All, I Think Forrest Was The Most Remarkable Man Our Civil War Produced On Either Side.

This War Differs From Other Wars, In This Particular. We Are Not Fighting Armies But A Hostile People, And Must Make Old And Young, Rich And Poor, Feel The Hard Hand Of War.

We Must Act With Vindictive Earnestness Against The Sioux, Even To Their Extermination, Men, Women And Children... During An Assault, The Soldiers Cannot Pause To Distinguish Between Male And Female, Or Even Discriminate As To Age.

I Would Make This War As Severe As Possible, And Show No Symptoms Of Tiring Till The South Begs For Mercy.

If The People Raise A Great Howl Against My Barbarity And Cruelty, I Will Answer That War Is War, And Not Popularity Seeking.
