Excerpt from The Maine Bugle, Vol. 2: January 1895 It would be tedious to follow the course of General Warren´s narra tive of the obstacles he encountered in attempting to comply with this order, and the civilian reader will be glad to be spared a full discussion as to whether they might have been overcome; but some of the difficul ties he found seem almost incom patible with the condition of active warfare in which we were supposed to be.
