To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is, and will be always, a glorious story. The profession of arms is an inspiring one. There is a lustre upon it, which, in every age, has attracted chivalric spirits, and made them happy to be its orna- ments and its exemplars. The scholar, whether in business, in politics or in war, is almost always superior to his untrained rival. Grant and Sherman and Sheri- dan illustrate the advantage which a country possesses that has in its service men instructed in military knowl- edge. But a puissan...t nation, such as came into the meditations of John Milton, when it rouses itself from sleep, vaults over scholastic rules, and puts men into its ranks, little regarding the methods which are taught in schools. Science has always found its way into columns that move forward. Cajsar and Marlborough and Fred- erick were great commanders; but those who read with seeing eyes perceive that generals only lead men; and that battles, however planned, are usually determined by the plain courage of the rank anti file.
