Excerpt from Stories by American Authors, Vol. 8
HE Colonel was the idol of his bragging old regiment and of the bragging brigade which for the last six months he had commanded.
He was the idol, not because he was good and gracious, not because be spared his soldiers or treated them as fellow-citizens, but because he had led them to victory and made them famous. If a man will win battles and give his brigade a right to brag loudly of its doings, he may have its admiration and even its enthusiastic devotion, though he be as pitiless and as wicked as Lucifer.
