To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Ask those who served with him, and they will answer: " Men whom Logan led, never turned back. " Only a com- prehensive mind can take events as they come and mould them to its will, as if they had been ordered in advance. Regiment, Brigade, Division, Corps, Army, these are the steps he took, and never tripped nor faltered. The real proof of genius is the manner in which high responsibilities are met- Abraham Lincoln, in the school of Sangamon, was hardly a prophecy of him who became the foremost... man of all this world. Galena and Appomattox are wide apart ; but Grant spanned them. The law of growth rules; and only those who can rise to occasion are great. Measure Logan by this unfailing test and he becomes collossal, Emerson tells, in a familiar line, how Michael Angelo "wrought in a sad sincerity;" but so in truth does every man who, in the stress of duty, builds domes or carves statues or rights battles. Let us see Logan under the light that reveals motives and acts. The summons that came, in the Spring of 1861, found us, as such a summons always does, unpre- pared.
