Well, General, we have not had many dead cavalrymen lying about lately.
Joseph Hooker (1813-1879): A remark to General Averill, November, 1862.
Come in the evening, or come in the morning;
Come when you 're looked for, or come without warning.
Thomas O. Davis (1814-1845): The Welcome.
But whether on the scaffold high
Or in the battle's van,
The fittest place where man can die
Is where he dies for man!
Michael J. Barry (Circa 1815): The Dublin Nation, Sept. 28, 1844, Vol. ii. p. 809.
