Famous quotes containing the words army and/or corps:
“I was interested to see how a pioneer lived on this side of the country. His life is in some respects more adventurous than that of his brother in the West; for he contends with winter as well as the wilderness, and there is a greater interval of time at least between him and the army which is to follow.

—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
