焦虑，一定是带着焦虑来到我们家的
我相信，收到这场大战的消息，
但由于《og体育平台》的祝福，他的工作时间很短.

早饭前响起了隆隆的重炮声
tled every one. 几分钟后，我们所有的员工都睡着了
驰骋在全国各地，警告各种
各旅准备立即行动. Hour after
一小时过去了，大炮轰鸣，我们的士兵咒骂着
延迟和不时的风时
我们可以听到枪声和枪声
田野里的喧闹声，告诉了我们离得很近

At 4 P.M. 我们到达了对岸 Pittsburg

在一群心灰意冷，躲躲藏藏的士兵中间
一群六八千人的暴民蜷缩在悬崖下;
many indeed standing & sitting in mud a foot or more
这倒不是他们的错，而是他们的错
军官们似乎都很差劲
for either gentlemen or soldiers. We formed about 200 men
然后爬上小山，来到高原上

敌人从四面八方逼近我们，使我们不得不
被关进屠宰场了吗
yds. each way: their shot & shell filled the air
树木在他们的路上轰然倒下，挣扎着
垂死的马，垂死的人发出呻吟
这是我所见过的最可怕的景象.
不一会儿，我听到身后“砰”的一声巨响
and the top of a man's head [这里的参考标记指向笔记 at bottom of page:] hustled through
the air between Lt. Graves & me who were riding
knee to knee; our adjutant general was riding on

心满意足地拿走了他的剑弓
他上衣的下摆和座位上的一块
从那以后，它沿着那条可怕的道路，一头扎了下去
into the ranks & carried off a couple of legs. That
was undeniably a most terrible receptioninitiation into the
horrors of War. 男人们看起来有点吃惊，
when Genl. Nelson said "carry him to the rear,"
我拿出一块饼干，开始吃起来
带着母牛咀嚼反刍食物的清凉，
每一口都像土豆一样大. The men,
看到我们(显然)不害怕，就鼓起勇气
