“Corps commander Alexander P. Stewart, writing with profound emotion, explained in his own mind the mystery of what had occurred in the face of almost certain success at Spring Hill: “There is a Divinity that shapes our ends, rough hew them how we may. If in the next life we are permitted an insight into the events of this life and their causes, we shall be surprised to find how much Providence, and how very little human agency and planning have to do with all really noble and grand achievements. And how little credit is due to many who pass among us as great.”56”
