CHAPTER III

THE PERIOD OF CONFLICT (1840-1876)


  The muffled drum's sad roll has beat
    The soldier's last tattoo;
  No more on Life's parade shall meet
    That brave and fallen few.
  On Fame's eternal camping-ground
    Their silent tents are spread,
  And Glory guards, with solemn round,
    The bivouac of the dead.

           O'Hara, "The Bivouac of the Dead"
