To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Grant did not blindly precipitate his army upon the slaugh- ter-pens between the Rapidan and James Rivers. He knew that his road to Richmond would make an Appian way, by whatever route he moved ; for he knew the desperation of Lee's frenzied army and the determination of its Generals. These slaughter-pens had all been laid and prepared before Grant came to supreme command, and their strength, Lee's unweakened army, and the obstacles to be overcome in the pe- culiar geography of the country, had... all been calculated by Grant. He had counted their cost of life with the precision of his estimates for ordnance and subsistence. The great moral struggle was in the undertaking, and few men have been cre- ated whose morale would not have been shaken in view of the sacrifice. But Grant had been called to the execution of a problem, that was to determine the life or death of his govern- ment. Duty and loyalty take deep root in strong natures, and with Grant these ideas are in the depth of his moral na- ture, and mingle with his religion and his God.
