"The first battle of Manassas, alias Bull Run, occurred while I was in a camp of instruction, endeavoring to acquire some skill in the noble art of homicide. By nature I am pacific... Nevertheless, I tried the fortunes of a private soldier for a short time in behalf of the Southern Confederacy...The state of my martial emotions was somewhat peculiar: I loved my friends, but I did not hate my enemies...To the best of my remembrance, I was very reluctant but very determined to fight."
