The Lost Cause

For those men believed in something. They counted life a light thing to lay down in the faith they bore. They were terrible in battle. They were generous in victory. They rose from defeat to fight anew, and while they lived they were formidable. There were not enough of them; that is all.
-John W. Thomason quoted in Dobie, A Texan in England(238)
