William T. Sherman Quotes

Swords Were Brought Out, Guns Oiled And Made Ready, And Everything Was In A Bustle When The Old Lexington Dropped Her Anchor On January 26, 1847, In Monterey Bay, After A Voyage Of One Hundred And Ninety-eight Days From New York. Everything On Shore Looked Bright And Beautiful, The Hills Covered With Grass And Flowers, The Live Oaks So Serene And Homelike, And The Low Adobe Houses, With Red-tiled Roofs And Whitened Walls, Contrasted Well With The Dark Pine Trees Behind, Making A Decidedly Good Impression Upon Us Who Had Come So Far To Spy Out The Land. Nothing Could Be More Peaceful In Its Looks Than Monterey In January, 1847.
