Robert E. Lee, January 19, 1807 – October 12, 1870

,

“Tell Hill he must come up! … Strike the tent!”

It is surely a wonderful compliment that both Lee and Jackson, delirious while dying, called for A.P. Hill (killed in the Third Battle of Petersburg, 2 April 1865) to come up.

The short commands in this passage really stood out to me. “Tell Hill he must come up” and “Strike the tent” carry so much urgency in just a few words.
