Text Appearing Before Image:
nd broken was McCook.Van Cleve moved like a hurricane, a tempest blew with Hood,Awful the sweep of Breckinridge across the flaming wood.Never before did battle-roar such chords of thunder make,Never again shall tides of men over such barriers break. Stand fa.st, stand fast! cried Rosecrans; and Thomas said, I will! And, crash on crash, his batteries dashed their broadsides down the hill.Brave Longstreets splendid rush tore through whatever barred its track,Till the Rock of Chickamauga hurled the roaring columns back.And gave the tide of victory a red tinge of defeat.Adding a noble dignity to that hard word, retreat. Two days they fought, and evermore those days shall stand apart,Key-notes of epic chivalry within the nations heart.Come, come, and set the carven rocks to mark this glorious spot;Here let the deeds of heroes live, their hatreds be forgot.Build, build, but never monument of stone shall last as longAs one old soldiers ballad borne on breath of battle-song. Maurice Thompson.
