Severity Of Climate

The severity of the climate on the borders of the St. Lawrence and the lakes, to which our tyros were frequently exposed, and their want of knowledge and experience to render themselves comfortable in camp, were the causes of fatal diseases, which carried off a greater number than fell in battle.

The proportion of sick and unfit for duty was at all times very great.

Andrew Jackson's Heroic Character

General Andrew Jackson; a hero of the War of 1812.

There never perhaps was a warrior of greater resolution than Jackson. He was a man...said to burn every blade of grass before an enemy, or as the Prince of Orange even more heroically expressed it, to die in the last ditch sooner than submit. He never trifled in great emergencies never shrank from assuming the responsibility required by circumstances, but while others wasted precious moments in hesitation, acted, and with a terrible energy and promptitude which appalled opposition. His determined will has passed into a proverb.

Whatever he conceived to be right, that he fearlessly did, and would have attempted it, even if superhuman powers opposed him. He had the nerve of Cromwell, without his craft; the headlong impetuosity of Murat, without his weakness; the desperate resolution and confidence in himself, which carried Napoleon from victory to victory.

But nevertheless, if honesty patriotism and unflinching adherence to conviction constitute the hero, then was Jackson one in the highest and fullest sense of that term.
