Famous quotes containing the words faced and/or troops:
“Plain women he regarded as he did the other severe facts of life, to be faced with philosophy and investigated by science.”

“Nearly all the bands are mustered out of service; ours therefore is a novelty. We marched a few miles yesterday on a road where troops have not before marched. It was funny to see the children. I saw our boys running after the music in many a group of clean, bright-looking, excited little fellows.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
