The people's choice
Politicking on the Potomac
After the ball
Sir, I do assure you
But one course left
The dignity of a homicide
End of a career
Father to the man
The Colonel at court
Target, Washington
Man with smallpox
The making of a general
On to Richmond!
Backward from Richmond
Barroom and brothel
The enemy must ingloriously fly
Sickles is the man
"This is a good battle-field"
Never call retreat
Tell it to Lincoln
Certain grave charges
The campaign of general historicus
A better general
O, captain, my captain
People are too pragmatical
Letters edged in black
The general calls on a lady
A deep sense of propriety
Tact and forbearance
St. Daniel and the dragon
The big Stick
Au revoir and goodbye
Return of the native
A grand old hero he
I see him on that famous field
