Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Full Proceedings at the Flag Raising on Dr. W. S. McDonald´s Lawn, Fort Scott, Kansas, December 3, 1904 The raising of the American flag over the Block House, December 3rd, 1904, was one of the most impressive ceremonies ever witnessed in the city. It was a pretty sight, too, one that will be remembered by the citizens of Fort Scott for many years. A program had been previously arranged for the occasion, and it was carried out with not a single incident to mar the harmony of the proceedings. Long before 2 o´clock people began to gather at the corner of First street and National avenue. By 2 o´clock, the time set for the services to begin, there were several hundred persons present, and had it not been for the unpleasant weather the crowd would have been very large. The procession, headed by the ladies of the Woman´s Belief Corps, reached the Block house at a very few minutes past 2 o´clock. The profession formed on Main street, as follows: The Woman´s Belief Corps. The Grand Army of the Republic. The Fort Scott Band. Degree Teams of the Woodmen of the World. Citizens in carriages. The weather was unpleasantly cold, and for this reason the ceremonies were curtailed slightly, but they were solemn and impressive notwithstanding. Immediately upon the arrival at the grounds, the Woman´s Belief Corps turned the great flag over to Mayor Congdon and he at once prepared it to be hoisted to the top of the mast, which is more than sixty feet high. With the Woman´s Relief Corps, the Grand Army of the Republic circled around the flag pole on the east, north and west, and the band on the south. Old Glory was raised on the signal of the report of the cannon, amid the sweet strains of America by the Band.
