Unconsciously, too, he found himself using the same manner of address as the others. "Madame," he said, "whatever you choose to tell me will be sacred." She bowed her head slightly.
The account by General Force, contained in the Scribner series of "Campaigns of the Civil War," is good. But no study of the battle can be complete without the aid of General Buell's articles in the Century Magazine, and the maps of the field, which he has so carefully prepared.
