“He promised
that life would go on as usual,
that treaties would be signed, and everyone—
man, woman and child—would be inoculate
against a world in which we had no part,
a world of money, promise and disease.”
—James Welch (b. 1940)
“We had an inspection today of the brigade. The Twenty-third was pronounced the crack regiment in appearance, ... [but] I could see only six to ten in a company of the old men. They all smiled as I rode by. But as I passed away I couldn’t help dropping a few natural tears. I felt as I did when I saw them mustered in at Camp Chase.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
