To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But while the troops made good progress in the daytime, it was impossible to get the gunboats to move at all at night, even after they reached the open river be- yond the obstructions. The consequence was that the enemy had time to construct and arm fortifica- tions at the head of the Yazoo, and thereby make our entry into that river impossible. One of our iron-clads, after getting within range, was disabled by the shot of a heavy gun from the fort, and this 152 ON GRANT'S STAFF so alarmed the ...naval commander that he refused to push others to closer quarters for fear that they might also be injured, become unmanageable, and prove a total loss. The expedition was therefore abandoned, but it was afterward found that the enemy was out of ammunition and would have given up his works had our ships continued their attack even at longer range. This is one of the best illus- trations that came under my observation during the war, that it is always better to continue an attack when you can than to give it up without some over- whelming necessity.
