Descrição: The adjutant's oratory fell flat, and the mood soured even more when the commander of a nearby regiment rose to warn the men that, contrary to the initial reports they had heard, the Confederates actually had been "slightly whipped" at Pittsburg Landing.1 Such an acknowledgment of defeat, however qualified, proved unwelcome. Different in conception was Michael Barton's postmodern content analysis of published soldier letters and diaries, yet he concluded like Wiley that Confederates - impetuous, verbose, and concerned with "gallantry" - cared relatively little about abstract notions of freedom and democracy.5 Gerald Linderman similarly depicted the soldiers of 1861 and 1862 as nonideological.\n He did leave an outstanding offer of $1,000, and waited impatiently for a reply.
