Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Proceedings of the Reunion of the Third Division, Ninth Corps, Army of the Potomac, Held at New York, March 25, 1891 On the cold and stormy winter night of January 19th, 1889, a little company of four men met at the house of Lieutenant R. R. Webbert, in the quiet village of Boiling Springs, about five miles southeast of Carlisle, in the county of Cumberland. Those four men were old soldiers of the Third division, Ninth army corps, Army of the Potomac. The winds whistled a shrill tattoo without, as they gathered about the warm hearth. One of these men was your present efficient secretary, the Honorable M. A. Embick, a member of Company D, Two Hundred and Ninth Regiment, which was commanded by the gallant and lamented McCullough, who laid down his life on the 2d of April, 1865, in front of Petersburg. The other three were Lieutenant R. R. Webbert, of Company A, who had been on the division general´s staff; Richard R. Craighead, of Craighead, and William F. Wise, of Boiling Springs, both, also, of my own Company A, of the Two Hundred and Ninth; and here was projected the first reunion of that regiment. This little band, discouraged and fearing as to the results of their endeavor, were discussing the probabilities of success, when Embick said, "elect me secretary and I will make it go." It went. A regimental organization was at one effected by electing Lieutenant Webbert president, and Mr. Embick secretary. On looking around they concluded it was not necessary just then to elect a treasurer.
