...latter causes must be attributed the dash and vigor of his fighting. But this attribute did not exist alone. Nor can one say that the southern volunteer did not possess perseverance and patience under hardship. The long marches, short battles and wonderful retreats showed his abilities in this line in Stonewall Jackson's brilliant campaigns...

And is it not fitting that the family should all be together once every day? I can't see why it should be considered a hardship to attend chapel, except by those men who indulge in expensive "sprees" and go to bed at 2 A. M., regularly.
