It was my fortune, and my great privilege, to know somewhatintimately. General Hooker. I have been not far from him, underalmost all circumstances and conditions, by night and by day, inhis tent, and upon the field. I think I knew his character and hishabits. I think I knew him for what he was, and for what he desiredto be and to do as a commanding general in the service of the UnitedStates. I have never known him to be false in any direction; andthose who served under him from the banks of the Potomac toLookout Mountain, can never be made to believe that he was notalways all that a gentleman, an officer, a soldier should be. Thecharge has been made that General Hooker was not always hiijiself,because of having taken that which does no man any good, and does.
