To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
127 regiments cavalry, 600 each . . . 47 battalions cavalry, 400 each . . . 261 batteries light artillery, 70 each 5 regiments heavy artillery, 800 each OF THE CONFEDERATE ARMY 27 6 battalions heavy artillery, 400 each . . 2,400 8 regiments partisan rangers, 700 each S,6oo I battalion partisan rangers 350 601,980 The size of infantry and cavalry battalions and of regiments and battalions of heavy artillery in this calculation, as well as of the regiments of partisan rangers, is in each case sug...gested by that accomplished and experienced officer, Colonel Walter H. Taylor, adjutant-general on the staff of General Robert E. Lee. His figures may be rather high — certainly they are not too low. Of course such a calculation is necessarily only ap- proximate, but the basis on which it is made ap- pears reasonably reliable. To one who, like my- self, had personal observation of the armies in Virginia from the first battle of Manassas to Ap- pomattox, the standard of strength in regiments and battalions in the field above adopted, seems in conformity with the facts.
