"Yes, sometimes. But the Confederates

keep a big garrison in Astoria,

Colonel. Much larger than

the one in Preston Bay. Why go twenty-five hundred kilometers to fight a larger enemy force when

there's good Patriot country at half the distance?"

"For the same reason the Confederates

don't put much strength at Preston Bay. It's isolated. The

Ford Heights ranches are scattered . . . Look, Mr. Secretary, if we take Astoria we have the key to the

whole Columbia River Valley. The Confederates won't know if we're going north to Doak's Ferry, east

to Grand Forks and on into the capital plains, or west to Ford Heivlits. If I take Preston Bay first they'll

know what I intend because there's only one thing a sane man could do from there."
