Joe Johnston's shattered army was at Jackson, about forty-five miles to northward; beleaguered Vicksburg was in the Northwest, a trifle farther away; Natchez lay southwest, still more distant; and nearly twice as far in the south was our heartbroken New Orleans.

For an hour or so the world seemed to have taken me for its center as smoothly as a sleeping top.

A stretch of the farther shore was open fields lying very low and hidden by a levee.
