troops lacked in courage, ordered the
Vermonters to lead the advance and the

in suppressing the Rebellion-and the
same can be said of every northern state,
if you go to 1t for the story. State pride
is commendable, but don't let's overdo
it, and let's not depend too much on

that they know of no outstanding bills
