To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The officers near him begged him to dodge or retreat. He replied, "I never dodge; and when I hear the notes of the bugle calling a retreat, I shall retreat, and not before." Five of his men now alone remained; and as it was evident that no command existed on the field, he ordered Corporal Peoples to limber up the gun, and take it away. At that moment a shot struck him on the right temple, and he fell, exclaiming, " my God!" Thus, in an ill-managed expedition, the country lost Lieutenant Greble.... As an officer, he bore the highest character. He was every inch a thorough-bred American soldier, — skilled, brave, active, and efficient. In private life, a gifted and accomplished gentleman, a Christian by profession, and still more by practice, living up to the truth he saw, and the duties it inculcated, thus affording a beautiful examiple to young officers, who are too often deluded by the mistaken idea that there is something incompatible between honest manly piety and religion, and the character of a soldier.
