Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memorial Address Upon the Life of General James Green Martin: Delivered at Raleigh, N. C., May 10, 1916 President of the Ladies Memorial Asociation, Ladies and Gentlemen: Fifty years and one have fled since wreathed around with cypress and with laurel the chosen banner of a great people passed into history. No banner was ever borne by braver soldiery nor sustained by generals of greater genius or by any people with more devotion. But Fortune that name for the unknown combinations of an infinite power was wanting to us, and without her aid the designs of man are as bubbles on a troubled ocean. Once 8 millions of the great Anglo Saxon race hailed that banner with gladness. But when it passed, it passed forever, without hope that it should come again, for "its people´s hopes were dead." Yet, we see what the world has never seen before - from one end to the other of the land over which it waved, from the Potomac to the Rio Grande, from the Gulf to the great rivers of the North, the Ohio and the Mississippi, countless monuments stand in perpetual memorial of the valor of the soldiers that bore it, and on these recurring anniversaries we meet with music and with flowers and with beauty, in memory of the "storm cradled nation that fell" and to honor those who were faithful, even unto death. The world shows nothing else like it. In historic England there are possibly a dozen or more monuments to commemorate great victories won in her great island story of a thousand years.
