Excerpt from George Henry Thomas: Oration Before the Society of the Army of the Cumberland, at Rochester N. Y., September 17, 1884
Yet his early years were not without evidence that he already possessed the qualities which were to distinguish his later life, for these were not the result of circumstance but inborn, and exhibited themselves in proportion to occasion. With the limited opportunity afforded him he so conducted himself as to merit the approbation of his superior officers, the esteem of his associates and the pride of his friends.
