Pilot Knob : The Thermopylae of the West (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Pilot Knob: The Thermopylae of the West

Sometimes discrepancies or contradictions in de tail may appear in the various stories; but it must be remembered that in the uproar and confusion of battle no soldier in the ranks nor any company officer can see everything that is going on even in his immediate Vicinity, or, seeing, can always com prehend it completely. Rumors and misapprehen sions are always peculiarly rife at such times, and due allowance must be made for them. But these men all know, with a vividness of recollection which time cannot dim, what they themselves passed through; and in these personal experiences lie the lessons and the examples which are of paramount value today.
