Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The History of the Bunker Hill Monument Association: During the First Century of the United States of America The first present the author remembers ever to have received was one of those handsomely engraved diplomas of the Bunker Hill Monument Association, bearing his name in full, set in a gilt frame, and hung in the parlor, - a paternal gift to a boy of eleven years. Born at the foot of Bunker Hill, and often in childhood having rambled over the battle-field while yet a pasture, he naturally felt a personal interest in the completion of the undertaking of the Association, and, having been early chosen into its directory, he was prompted to labor for it. He was requested by Mr. Webster to prepare an account of the first two great celebrations on Bunker Hill, to accompany his orations in a proposed republication. This he undertook to do; but, when afterwards Mr. Everett kindly assumed the editorship of all the works of the great Statesman, no other hand was required. Subsequently the author has been frequently requested to prepare a History of the Association, embracing the noteworthy events, and giving a summary of the labors, the difficulties, and the triumphs it has experienced.
