Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address of Maj. Gen. A. A. Humphreys on the Military Services of the Late Maj. Gen. George Gordon Meade, United States Army: Made at the Meade Memorial Meeting of the Citizens of Philadelphia, November 18, 1872 Fellow-citizens of Philadelphia: As the friend and associate of the soldier whose loss the army and the nation deplore, I have been asked to address you concerning his military services. It is fitting that this duty should be devolved on me, for undoubtedly I was more intimately associated with him during the time he commanded the Fifth Corps and the Army of the Potomac than any other officer. Besides, I have known him ever since his entrance into the service, then an intelligent, a polished, and witty young officer, on duty with the troops in Florida. My second recollection of him is as an engineer engaged under Captain Talcott, of the Corps of Engineers, upon an elaborate survey and investigation at the mouths of the Mississippi River, in which the facts elicited by some original experiments of his led me, many years after, to a series of investigations whch developed the law governing the formation of the bars and shoals at the mouth of that river, from which most important consequences have followed for the improvement of navigation and the increase of commerce.
