- (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)The midnight assault, the awful conflagration, the slaughter of women and children, the horrors of captivity in the wilderness, the impoverishment and moaning of widows and orphans, the diabolical torture, piercing the wilderness with the shrill shriek of mortal agony, the terror, universal and uninterrupted by day or by night--all, all combined in composing a scene in the awful tragedy of human life which the mind of Deity alone can comprehend.
