Excerpt from The Boy With the Guns
They pile up the material out of which history will some day be constructed; they enable us in some measure to realize the passion of trial and suffering through which our boys have gone for us; with all their crudities and imperfections, they rise sometimes in their bald simplicity to epic dignity, and they afford insight into men tal and emotional penetralia of the deepest significance.
