Excerpt from The Fall of Richmond

Some of the sanguine friends of the Con federates reckon still' on the room for their chivalry in the wide territory still open to them. But there is much delusion in that reliance on chivalry. All wars of an upper class are marked with great success at the\ outset, but it is a fire of straw, and wants the sustaining substance of a lower order of people. The course hands will win mthe long run against the fair ones, w1th abihty of leadership equivalent, or nearly so, and numbers on the side of the former.
