The Lord will give grace and glory

J. T. Smith

May 1870

 

I look on the women who stayed in Gettysburg during the great battle with more interest than on the men who fought it. Battles lack general human interest because only one sex contends. Yet there is a battle greater than Gettysburg, between Good and Evil, where woman is both combatant and conqueror.

May 30, 1878.             Geo. Alfred Townsend
