Eastern Army

Famous quotes containing the words eastern and/or army:

    Now Morn her rosy steps in th’ eastern clime
    Advancing, sowed the earth with orient pearl.
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    These semi-traitors [Union generals who were not hostile to slavery] must be watched.—Let us be careful who become army leaders in the reorganized army at the end of this Rebellion. The man who thinks that the perpetuity of slavery is essential to the existence of the Union, is unfit to be trusted. The deadliest enemy the Union has is slavery—in fact, its only enemy.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
