Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Grant: An Address Delivered at the 23d Annual Reunion of the Old Soldiers and Sailors Association of Jo Daviess County, Turner Hall, Galena, August 15, 1905 Mr. President. Comrades. Ladies and Friends: As an old citizen of Galena I am pleased to meet this splendid audience of comrades and friends and return your hearty greeting. As I came upon this platform I was hailed by Comrade Will Perry, now of Elizabeth, the first boy whom I enlisted in my company for the War, and whose father also enrolled with me for "Three Years." The next to erect me was my old brigade commander, Major-General Smith D. Atkins, of the city of Freeport. While on every hand were comrades of all grades, non-commissioned and commissioned, from Private Perry to General Atkins, rejoicing that they were gathered together once more before summoned to cross the pontoon for duty on the eternal camping ground upon the other shore. I would like to talk to my comrades of the early days, when we went a-soldiering. Of the marches, bivouacs and battles in which we were, engaged dining those long four years of terrible conflict, and the return home. But having taken up some incidents in the life of our illustrious citizen and peerless soldier, Ulysses S. Grant. I leave all those stories to the comrades who are to follow me and will speak to you of our old commander. Every incident in the civil or military life of General Grant can but be of interest to all Galenians, and should be repeated by the old and learned by the young. When General Grant passed to the unseen world. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
