Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Some Personal Reminiscences of Army Life: A Paper Read Before the Missouri Commandery of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States, March 5th, 1887 The attack on the Sixth Massachusetts at Baltimore, was an event of supreme importance in connection with the secession movement. Until that hour multitudes at the North had refused to be convinced that the conflict was inevitable, and few persons of mature years had considered the possibility of being personally called upon to bear arms. Bat the tidings of violence in the streets of Baltimore as they were flashed over the land, brought to every mind a conviction not only that war had actually commenced, but that at this juncture there rested upon each citizen a duty to his country which could only be discharged by personal service. Nowhere was the excitement more intense than in that city of central Massachusetts in which I was then residing. Many of her citizens were in the ranks of the famous Sixth; and while we waited with uncertainty for the list of casualities, not knowing what families would be plunged into mourning, the feeling grew and deepened. No battle in after years, with its long list of dead,, wounded and missing, created so profound an impression as this comparatively bloodless affair.
