Quotes by John Bigelow

“The result showed the wisdom of your orders.”

“The enemy could not have got a handful of men, through the cross-fire.”

“Of your own indefatigable labor from early dawn and of your explicit instructions, that the batteries should reserve their ammunition, until the grand charge should commence, for which the enemy were undoubtedly preparing.”

“And, if there was any responsibility in refusing to obey, he was willing to accept it.”

The result showed the wisdom of your orders.
