By Jonathan R. Allen - Last updated: Tuesday, October 21, 2008

Ball’s Bluff was a Union disaster. A day that was once interlaced with poetry, was now more appropriate as a subject for a dirge. Back in Washington, Abraham Lincoln would now mourn a Union loss, and the death of a close friend.

"The histories of the Lost Cause are all written out by big bugs, generals and reknowned historians. Well, I had as much right as any man to write a history."
-- Sam Watkins, of Company H, 1st Tennessee of Nashville.

And He shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
(Isaiah 2:4)
