As he continued, almost preaching at this point, he talked of how this expedition could make so much more of his command, its not just about the battles you win, its about the story, and furthermore what was discovered. We need people to read about what we did and what we saw, and you need to write about. I was taken aback, both by his request and by his enthusiasm. Before I could think about or even recover from his presentation he asked me, will you do it. Of course I hesitated to answer but considering his already elated view of me I could do nothing but humbly accept, “humbly”. He said “Great” went back to his work and before I knew it I was out the tent. I walked in stupor towards the camp in which my men stayed in. Its not that I didnt know what to do, as an officer I have a certain degree navigation
