To Antietam Creek Quotes

“Fred Foard, another soldier in the 20th, remembered seeing the chaplain of his regiment, “who was bounding over the tops of laurel bushes like a kangaroo.” Foard heard McRae bellow at him, “Parson—Parson—God Damn it, come back here; you have been praying all your life to get to heaven and now that you have a short cut you are running away from it.”
― D. Scott Hartwig, To Antietam Creek: The Maryland Campaign of September 1862
