I certainly enjoyed the excitement of fighting our way out of Giles to the Narrows as much as any excitement I ever experienced. I had a good deal of anxiety the first hour or two on account of my command, but not a particle on my own account. After that, and after I saw that we were getting on well, it was really jolly. We all joked and laughed and cheered constantly.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (18221893)
“People forget that it is the eye that makes the horizon, and the rounding minds eye which makes this or that man a type or representative of humanity with the name of hero or saint.”
