The Daily Dispatch: February 27, 1865., [Electronic resource], article 3 (search)
oys the advantages of having a country and does not accept the burdens of it; he forfeits his honor, and is a bad citizen !" "And what must one do, Lieutenant, to be a good citizen?" asked I.

The brave man pressed me upon his cross of St. Louis, and I went away as proud as an ambassador. This is how, neighbor, I became a volunteer under the Republic before I had cut my wise teeth.
