Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ceremonies at the Twenty-Fifth Anniversary Brevet Major-General D. McM. Gregg, presiding. My Companions of the Loyal Legion and Fellow Citizens: When the War of the Rebellion had ended in the triumph of the Union Arms, and the heart of the entire loyal people of the United States was overwhelmed with profound grief because of the assassination of the great and good Lincoln, three ex-officers of the Union Army (one of whom is present in the audience) met in this city and resolved to establish a society in imitation of the Cincinnati: its membership to consist of officers and honorably discharged officers of the United States Army, Navy, and Marine Corps, and their male descendants; its object being the preservation and cultivation of friendships formed during the war and the promotion of a loyal devotion to a system of government which these original members had fought to sustain in the great conflict just ended. At first, and for some time thereafter, the membership did not increase rapidly - this because of the new order of things. Discharged soldiers and sailors, returning to their homes, found new conditions existing. Declining to accept these, and led by a spirit of adventure and self-reliance, which had grown up within them during the term of their military service, they were led, in many instances, to seek homes in distant places, many of them in the great empire west of the Mississippi. It took some time for this spirit of restlessness to give place to one of fixity. This accomplished, these soldiers and sailors yearned for the society and companionship of the men they best loved. These were to be found in the Military Order of the Loyal Legion and in the Grand Army of the Republic. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
