looking over the heads of his soldiers into the future.

"If he hadn't made that tremendous campaign in the valley," said Dalton,
"McClellan allied with McDowell would have come here with two hundred
thousand men and it would have been all over."

"But he made it and he saved us," said Harry, glancing at his hero.

"And I'm thinking," said Happy Tom Langdon, glancing toward the North,
"that he'll have to make more like it. The Yankees will come again,
stronger than ever."

Appendix: Transcription notes:

This etext was transcribed from a volume of the 21st printing

The following modifications were applied while transcribing the printed
book to e-text:

While the other books in this series are consistently printed with
a hyphen in "lieutenant-colonel", some chapters in this book were
printed with and some without. I added the hyphen where missing in
chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 14.

chapter 1
- Page 20, para 10, changed "its" to "it's"

chapter 2
- Page 45, para 6, removed extraneous quotation mark

chapter 6
- Page 132, para 3, moved a comma - my general policy is not to
add/remove/move commas, even though I often find commas which
seem to me out of place, but this one was just too bad to ignore

chapter 8
- Page 159, para 2, fixed typo ("enmy")
- Page 167, para 5, missing quotation mark

chapter 10
- Page 211, para 4, missing quotation mark
- Page 216, para 6, changed "his section" to "this section"

chapter 11
- Page 225, para 4, fixed typo ("Generel")

chapter 12
- Page 249, para 4, fixed typo ("exerienced")
- Page 261, para 4, fixed typo ("woud")
- Page 262, para 1, removed excess quotation mark

chapter 13
- Page 277, para 3, missing quotation mark
- Page 292, para 3, apostrophe printed instead of quotation mark

chapter 14
- Page 298, para 4, changed "Its" to "It's"
- Page 312, para 6, missing quotation mark
- Page 314, para 4, changed "." to ":"
- Page 315, para 5, removed excess period

chapter 15
- Page 329, para 5, fixed typo ("painly")
- Page 331, para 1, fixed typo ("caried")
- Page 331, para 11, changed apostrophe to quotation mark

Limitations imposed by converting to plain ASCII: 8-bit characters
were converted to their 7-bit equivalents:
- chapter 9, page 186, "melee"
- chapter 11, page 241, "Themopylae" ("ae" ligature)

I did not modify:
