In many cases they haveacted as spies and informers for the enemy and have been most loud-mouthed in theirabuse of our cause and most insulting in their conduct towards those who support it.Men like Halleck resented instances in which their  protection did not translate intogratitude or even Union loyalty.Halleck to William M.McPherson, Esq., April 3, 1862,OR 8:657  58.92 [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
