Harry and Dick in Pendleton entered upon their own life work, which they were destined to do so well, but often, in their dreams and for many years, they rode again with Stonewall in the Valley, charged with Pickett at Gettysburg, stood with the Rock of Chickamauga, or advanced with Grant to the thunder of the guns through the shades of the Wilderness.

Appendix:  Transcription notes: 

The following modifications were applied while transcribing the printed book to etext: 

 Chapter 6
   Page 103, para 11, change “Turner” to “Warner”

 Chapter 7
   Page 112, para 6, insert missing period

 Chapter 11
   Page 186, para 2, fix punctuation typos

 Chapter 17
   Page 290, para 2, fix typo “unforgetable”

The following words were printed with accented vowels, but I chose not to post an 8-bit version of this text: 

 Chapter 6
   Page 94, para 1, “coordinate” with accented “o”

 Chapter 15
  Page 270, para 1, accented “o” in “cooperate”

As is typical in this series, there are a number of instances where the use of the comma in the printed book seems to me inappropriate.  However, I have adhered to the punctuation as printed (except for obvious printing errors, which are noted above).

For example: 

The horses given to them by special favor of Sheridan in place of their worn-out mounts, were splendid animals, and Sergeant Whitley himself had prepared them for their first appearance before their new masters.

  The horsemen firing their own carbines and swinging aloft their
  sabers, galloped forward in a mighty rush.
