From the Book - First edition.
Part 1. The march up. People who will not give in
There were never such men in an army before
This campaign is going to end this show
A perfectly surplus body of men
Victory will inevitably attend out arms
A goggle-eyed old snapping turtle
A universal panic prevails
You will have to fight like the devil to hold your own
Part 2. The first day. The devil's to pay
You stand alone, between the Rebel Army and your homes!
The dutch run and leave us to fight
If the enemy is there to-morrow, we must attack him
Part 3. The second day. One of the bigger bubbles of the scum
You are to hold this ground at all costs
I have never been in a hotter place
The supreme moment of the war had come
We are the Louisiana Tigers!
Let us have no more retreats
Part 4. The third day. The general plan of attack is unchanged
Are you going to do your duty today?
The shadow of a cloud across a sunny field
As clear a defeat as our army ever met with
There is bad faith somewhere
To sweep and plunder the battle grounds.
