To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Lee on its way to the point of threatened rout, Robert E. Lee, Jr. , tiie youngest son of the great Commander-in- Chief, and a private in the battery, raising himself to an erect posture, saluted with military precision his noble father. Where in all the history of war is such another incident to be found? Where such material for the brush of a Messonier? The kith of Bonaparte bore the baton, but the kin of Lee fought at the muzzle with hands upon the rammer staff. Truly one might say that Shar...psburg was a daj^ of glory for the Confederate Artillery. Without Pel- ham's guns, to deny the approach, never could Jackson have withstood the shock of those dense masses still ominously banked against his left. Without the gallant jNIiller and Boj^ce to check the onrushing columns of Richardson, and Col. Lee's guns to hold the enemy at bay, D. H. Hill had been swept from the field. And now, when the thin grey lines had been brushed aside like so much chaff by Burnside's dense and ever-increas- ing force, naught but the shattered remnants of his bat- teries saved Lee from utter rout.
