To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On the morning of May 6th, Lee and Grant had grappled, and the battlebecame general along the entire line of the two armies. In these rapidmemoirs I need only outline this bitter struggle--the histories willdescribe it.
Lee was aiming to get around the enemy's left, and huddle him up in thethicket--but in this he failed.
Just as Longstreet, who had arrived and taken part in the action, wasadvancing to turn the Federal flank on the Brock road, he was woundedby one of his own men; and the movemen...t was arrested in mid career.
But Lee adhered to his plan. He determined to lead his column inperson, and would have done so, but for the remonstrances of his men.
"To the rear!" shouted the troops, as he rode in front of them; "to therear!" And he was obliged to obey.
He was not needed.
The gray lines surged forward: the thicket was full of smoke and quickflashes of flame: then the woods took fire, and the scene of carnagehad a new and ghastly feature added to it. Dense clouds of smoke rose, blinding and choking the combatants: the flames crackled, soared aloft, and were blown in the men's faces; and still, in the midst of thisfrightful array of horrors, the carnival of destruction went on withoutceasing.
