Do Your Duty And Leave

The Only True Rule For Cavalry Is To Follow The Enemy As Long As He Retreats.

Sir! Men Who Desert Their Comrades In War Deserve To Be Shot! And Officers Who Intrude For Them Deserve To Be Hung!

In The Army Of The Shenandoah, You Were The 'first Brigade!' In The Army Of The Potomac You Were The 'first Brigade!' In The Second Corps Of This Army, You Are The 'first Brigade!' You Are The 'first Brigade' In The Affections Of Your General, And I Hope By Your Future Deeds And Bearing You Will Be Handed Down The Posterity As The 'first Brigade' In This Our Second War Of Independence. Farewell!

Who Could Not Conquer With Such Troops As These?

The Hardships Of Forced Marches Are Often More Painful Than The Dangers Of Battle
