Book excerpt: Excerpt from The National Tribune Repository, Vol. 1 An exploration of.the battlefield of Antietam a few days after that terrible conflict gave me several new ideas concern ing war, for war had not then been so graphically defined as it afterward was said to have been by Gen. Sherman. Even then, although I was Without a West Point education, and was one of the rawest of recruits, as I plodded over that field find ing new horrors at every step I noticed that war didn't in the least resemble heaven. About three weeks after joining the regiment the Army of the Potomac crossed into Virginia and moved with great celerity southward, for the alleged purpose of heading off Lee. It was said that some days when we got an early start, and the roads were good, we advanced as far as 12 miles.
