18 History records few instances of
such tremendous struggles as the battles
before Richmond and those again before
Washington. Uusually, one or two days
is sufficient in Europe to determine VIC
tory or defeat. In this country, owing to
Typographical peculiarities, battles can be
conducted for several days in succession,
without any definite result, There is SO
much wood and water, and the ground is so
ground is SO broken, that rules which ap-
pertain to warfare in the cultivated plains
of Europe do not avail here, and hence the
remarkable succession of conflicts which
this war has witnessed.
