Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Of Pennsylvania, Brigadier General and Brevet Major General, U. S. A: Major General U. S. V., Chief of Staff and Commander of the Combined Second-Third Corps, Army of the Potomac, Chief of Engineers, U. S. A "A true friend is distinguished in the crisis of hazard and necessity; when the gallantry of his aid may show the worth of his soul and the loyalty of his heart." - Ennius. "Trust on thy friend, deliberate with thyself; Pause, ponder, silt; not eager in the choice, Nor jealous of the chosen; fixing, fix; Judge before friendship, then confide till death." - Young. "Rest, soldier, rest! thy weary task is done; Thy God, thy country, thou has served them well; Thine is true glory - glory bravely won; On lips of men unborn thy name shall dwell. "Live! live on fame´s bright scroll, heroic friend! Thy memory now we to her record give, To earth, thy dust; our thoughts to heaven ascend, Where with the immortals, thou dost ever live!" - Palmer. [In a limited space it is next to impossible to do more than to refer to the services rendered to his country by this distinguished officer, since their mere mention fills Article No. 641, Graduating Class, of 1831, two pages, 384, 385, 386, Vol. i, of the Biographical Register of the Officers and Graduates of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N. Y., from its establishment, March 16, 1802, to the Army Re-organization of 1866- 67, by Brevet Major General Geo. W.Cullum, Colonel Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army, Vol. I, 1802-1840.
