Smelling the smoke, and hearing the cannons roar has had a profound effect on me. 8,000 men had been killed, but the battle raged on! I have had my work cut out for me. With over 3,000 wounded, I verely can even contemplate the damage to come. As always, I will continue to follow the troops, wherever they may go.

It is true, so many have died only in the first battle, and many more will perish throughout the lasting of this war. One only hopes that the South will survive as the victor.
