To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Stay, but which must be endured until nature triumphs or succumbs ! To fall helpless amid the burning forests; whose stealthy fires creep upon him, and suck out life with their hot breath ; to be taken captive to those foul places where life drained out in loathesome horror ; to meet and endure all these things voluntarily, is the glory of the soldier's manhood. But this is not the crowning glory of the soldiers of the Civil War ; not the crowning glory of the men of the Fifty-first Regiment of... Pennsyl- vania Volunteers. It lay in the object for which all these things were done and suffered. It lay in that which was attained in the victory of the effort. In the established personality and sovereignty of our government; in the preserved nationality of our people, bequeathed to us by our fathers ; handed down to us by the heroes of the Revolution. What you did and what you suffered was in the line of duty. Were the results to stay with the mere overcom- ing force with force, as was done on this day eighteen years ago, when tlie two great armies met, which is here and now commemorated, they would be bygone like the sulpliurous clouds that rose from the guns on that fateful day ; like the marks of the struggle smoothed out by the clotliing verdure.
