To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
O SHERIDAN'S RAID AROUND LEE 149 They were found, but Sheridan did not care to use them except in an emergency.
While Merritt was building the bridge, the Con- federates from Richmond advanced from behind their works and attacked Gregg and Wilson. But Gregg had prepared a surprise for them. He had placed some of his dismounted men among the bushes of a ravine, and when the enemy with a great deal of pomp and display had reached the right spot, these men opened fire with their repeating carbines.... At the same time the horse artillery belched shot and shell into their ranks, causing this imposing force to scamper back the way they came, but not with the same confidence. It was said that this attack took place under the eye of Jefferson Davis.
Sheridan in thus accepting battle under circum- stances that would have appalled a less cool, courage- ous, and confident soldier, showed here the same con- fident spirit that was afterwards seen at Winchester. After the defeat and discomfiture of the enemy, he re- mained on the battlefield all day undisturbed, burying the dead, caring for the wounded, and reading the Richmond papers.
