Mac McCormick III

“In the end, however, the intangible played as great a part as organization or system in keeping the army going. The army’s will to survive and to fight on short rations, its willingness to suffer, to sacrifice, made the inadequate adequate and rendered the failures of others of little importance. The army overcame the worst in itself and in others. It was indomitable.”
― Robert Middlekauff, The Glorious Cause: The American Revolution, 1763-1789
