1t Is not easy to write about the
dreadful war between the north and
the south. We press our breasts
against thorn when we do. 1t is
often said that it is still too early to
write the true story of our civil war.
1t will soon be too late. We should
not shrink from recording what we
know to be true. Thus only will full
history Of American courage and fidel-
ity be preserved. for all were Ameri-
sans. The last time | visited Peters
burg | drove out to her battlefelds.
Nature had hidden the scars with beau
ty The seeds of the field daisy had
been scattered wherever the Federal

had whitened the fields and covered
the graves by the wayside. Nature
had not forgotten these lonely, I'M

the Union wounded at Gettysburg
were taken to Philadelphia war hos

5000 dead in blue and gray who lay
on the sunny fields at Gettysburg gave
the opposing armies far less worry
than did the hosts of wounded.
