Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Historical Address, Delivered by the Hon. David Schenck, Saturday, May 5th, 1888, at the Guilford Battle Ground: Subject, the Battle of Guilford Court House, Fought Thursday, March 15, 1781 In pursuance of the following correspondence and numerous individual requests from all parts of the country, the "Guilford Battle Ground Company" has concluded to print one thousand copies of the address of the Hon. David Schenck, delivered May 5th, 1888, on the battle field of "Guilford Court House." It will be sold at fifty cents a copy, a little above cost, and the profits, if any, will be devoted to the improvement of the grounds purchased by the Company. Hon. David Schenck: My Dear Sir: I heard to-day with profound satisfaction your noble and complete vindication of the North Carolina militia who fought at the battle of Guilford. For years these brave volunteers have rested under charges that dishonored them and were a source of mortification to the people of the State. To-day the stigma is wiped out, and henceforth they will stand in history as men who fought bravely and most efficiently for the cause of American independence, and did not retire from the field until they did so in accordance with the orders of Gen-Greene himself. Deeply appreciating the importance of the facts so strongly portrayed by you to-day to the memory of these brave men and to their descendants and to all North Carolinians, as well as to history itself, I in common with the State officers present, as well as a large number of prominent gentlemen throughout the State, earnestly request that the Guilford Battle Ground Company (of which many of us are members) will cause your address to be published in pamphlet form and distributed throughout the State.
