To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The situation looked desperate for us, 360 THE END OF AN ERA nevertheless, for it was all our infantry could do to hold their lines, and not a man could be spared to meet an advance upon Blandford cemetery heights, which lay before the Union troops. At this juncture, heroic John Haskell, of South Carolina, came dashing up the plank road with two light batteries, and from a position near the cemetery began the most effective work of the day.
Exposed to the batteries and sharpshooters of the enem...y, he and his men gave little heed to danger. Has- kell, in his impetuous and ubiquitous gallantry, dashed and flashed about : first here, next there, like Ariel on the sinking ship. Now he darted into the covered way to seek Elliott, and implore an infantry support for his exposed guns ; Elliott, responding to his appeal, was severely wounded as he attempted with a brave handful of his Carolinians to cover Haskell's position ; now Haskell cheered Lampkin, who had already opened with his eight- inch mortars ; now he hurried back to Elanner, where he had left him, and found him under a fire so hot that in mercy he resolved to retire all his guns but six, and call for volunteers to man them, but that was not the temper of Lee's army: every gun detachment volunteered to remain.
