To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Oh, broth- ers at the North! join with us today in "gracing their memory with an elegy of words and tears." Shall memory soon be overcome in Oblivion's slow and silent stream, losing in sweet forgetfulness the sub- lime lessons of duty, equally exemplified in the trenches at Vicksburg, at Corinth, where the Rappahannock's crimson waters roll, or on the twin hills of Gettysburg. Shall the Southern heart cease to beat in harmonious accord with the spirit that urged on their hardy few "through the... mazes of superior generalship" in the Vir- ginia campaigns, or signalling the bravery of fame's eternal Chickamauga? Will that mother ever forget the darling blue-eyed boy, with brow so fair with maiden gentleness, who at martial duty's call was transformed into a type of manly beauty and went forth a peace- offering for his country? Will not the fair young wife, now grown gray with the sorrows of widowhood and the cares of orphanage, make a yearly pilgrimage to her shrine, laden with the trophies of springtime, to place tokens of remembrance on the soldier's grave?
