Quotes by Warren Olney  (?)

“As he reached the slight elevation he beheld the Confederate army sweeping down upon him. Their skirmish line fired at him, killing his orderly. He realized at last that he was in the presence of a hostile army. From that moment he did everything that mortal man could do to retrieve his fatal mistake. Wounded twice, several horses successively killed under him, chaos and defeat all around, yet his clear intelligence and steady courage stamped him a born leader of men.”
Warren Olney, "Shiloh" as Seen by a Private Soldier With Some Personal Reminiscences

“To the army of common soldiers, who do the actual fighting, and risk mutilation and death, there is no reward except the consciousness of duty bravely performed.”
Warren Olney, "Shiloh" as Seen by a Private Soldier With Some Personal Reminiscences

“A tolerably extensive reading of campaigns and military histories justifies me in saying that such an exhibition of unsuspicious security in the presence of a hostile army is without a parallel in the history of warfare.”
Warren Olney, "Shiloh" as Seen by a Private Soldier With Some Personal Reminiscences
