Duty Is Ours; The Consequences

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

I Am More Anxious Than I Can Express That My Men Should Be Not Only Good Soldiers Of Their Country, But Also Good Soldiers Of The Cross.

Our Movement Was A Great Success; I Think The Most Successful Military Movement Of My Life. But I Expect To Receive More Credit For It Than I Deserve. Most Men Will Think I Planned It All From The First; But It Was Not So. I Simply Took Advantage Of Circumstances As They Were Presented To Me In The Providence Of God. I Feel That His Hand Led Me - Let Us Give Him The Glory.

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!

Died Of Wounds Inflicted In Error By His Own Troops At The Battle Of Chancellorsville During The Us Civil War. Let Us Cross Over The River And Sit In The Shade Of The Trees.
