No ! no ! not at all ! Quite the reverse ! Lee wouldn't lift a finger to keep Grant from gettinge into the wilderness, but quick as a flash he was, to keep him from getting out. This, was why he had been marching the legs off of us, rations or no rations. This, was why he couldn't wait for Long- street, but tore off with the men he had, to meet Grant and fight him, before he could disentangle himself from The Wilderness. We had got up in time; and into the chaparral our men plunged to get at th...e enemy, and out of it was now roaring back over our swift columns the musketry of the advance. As brig- BATTLE OF THE WILDERNESS 77 ade after brigade dashed into line of battle the roar swelled out grander, and more majestic, until it be- came a mighty roll of hoarse thunder, which made the air quiver again, and seemed to shake the very ground. The battle of The Wilderness was begun, in dead earnest. The crushing, pealing thunder kept up right along, almost unbroken, hour after hour, all through the long noon, and longer evening, until just before night, it slackened and died away.
