"There's no sort o' mistake in little Bullet.……" — Augustus Baldwin Longstreet
"There's no sort o' mistake in little Bullet. He can pick up miles on his feet, and fling 'em behind him as fast as the next man's hoss, I don't care where he comes from. And he can keep at it as long as the sun can shine without resting."
