Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address at the Dedication of the Washington County Soldiers Monument We meet to-day. the people of the oldest county in the Northwest - the county which once included in its borders all of the Northwest then under civil jurisdiction - to dedicate a monument in memory of those of our citizens who fell as soldiers in a great struggle, which - devolved upon us by dissensions growing out of the colonial differences of the Atlantic States - the people of the Northwest, by their comparative unity, enthusiasm, and devotion - aided by their controlling geographical position - were enabled, in the providence of God, mainly to decide. We are assembled in the oldest city of distinctive American origin on the continent, where first - after our political independence of Europe had been achieved - the waves of emigration from the various colonial States, passing the mountain barrier commingled in a common tide, and blending different traits and varied descents, began, in the great valley of the continent, the formation of a distinctively American nationality. We are also upon the very scene where the scheme was forecast, and among us in numbers and part of us, are the immediate or near descendants of the very men, who planned, and by wise concert with others, engrafted such institutions upon the Northwest - notably township organization and the common schools - as, when the crisis came, induced, in the people of our section, an intelligent, consistent, and unyielding adherence to the cause of liberty and the Union. Assembled with us are distinguished officers, not of our community, but who have commanded Washington county troops, and are thus united with us in sentiment for our dead.
