Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln: Memorial Address The joint Legislative Session was called to order by the President pro tempore of the Senate, Edward L. French, at 11:00 o´clock a. m. Governor Ernest Lister presided over the joint session and introduced Mr. C. P. Bissett, who addressed the assembly as follows: Your Excellency, Members of the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Washington, ladies and gentlemen: I would be a strangely constituted man if I were not thankfully appreciative of the distinguished honor which the Legislature of the State of Washington has conferred upon me, in requesting me to appear before them to speak of him, whose name and fame reverberate this day, and every day, around the great world. I am deeply sensible of the inadequacy of my intellectual attainments; but I recognize the fact that your interest is not in me, or in any poor words that I may utter, but is in him, whose day this is. On February 12th, 1809, a child was born in whose veins flowed the pure blood of protest against every form of despotism and oppression. That child was Abraham Lincoln. The most exhaustive research, bearing upon his lineage, fails to reveal among his ancestors anyone foreign to the Anglo-Saxon race. In him, met and commingled the sturdy Puritan Roundhead of Massachusetts and the chivalric cavaliers of old Virginia. Back of that, the line leads to the two divisions of England´s best blood, facing each other in the historic War of the Roses.
