As the order was received, Smith remarked, with a peculiar twang to his heavy voice and an odd twist of his head: "Now, boys, the woo-hawin' is a-goin' to begin." We followed the road over the ridge, and filed to the right on a farm-road which led in this direction. As we filed right Colonel Pattee's voice rang out: "Deploy, skirmishers!"
Again Colonel Pattee's voice rings out: "DEPLOY SKIRMISHERS!" and in less than a minute a line of Bucktails stretches through the woods, facing the enemy. There is no waiting.

I do not even remember to have seen him mentioned in the works of James Huneker and you will not find his name in Barrett Wendell's "A History of American Literature" , "A Reader's History of American Literature" by Thomas Wentworth Higginson and Henry Walcott Boynton , Katherine Lee Bates's "American Literature" , "A Manual of American Literature," edited by Theodore Stanton , William B. Cairns's "A History of American Literature" , William Edward Simonds's "A Student's History of American Literature" , Fred Lewis Pattee's "A History of American Literature Since 1870" , John Macy's "The Spirit of American Literature" , or William Lyon Phelps's "The Advance of the English Novel" . The third volume of "The Cambridge History of American Literature," bringing the subject up to 1900, has not yet appeared but I should be amazed to discover that the editors had decided to include Saltus therein.
