Excerpt from Father AbrahamMr. Lincoln took so much interest in all them little things, but I said: Don't you worry, Mr. Swett, Mr. Lincoln's got the right i'dee. An army that don't have its belly and feet taken care of ain't goin' to do much fightin', and Mr. Lincoln's got sense enough to know it. He knows diar rhea's a blamed sight more dangerous to the Army of the Potomac than Stonewall Jackson. Trouble so far has been, in my judgment, that the people that ought to have been seein' to what the soldiers was eatin' and drinkin' and whether their beds was dry and their bowels movin', was spendin' their time polishin' their buttons and shinin' their boots for parade.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
