Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Our Branch and Its Tributaries: Being a History of the Work of the Northwestern Sanitary Commission and Its Auxiliaries, During the War of the Rebellion The appalling scenes of the Rebellion, go terribly present and real bot the other day, are already becoming shadowed and irie-hued, as seen through the media of three years of hopes and anxieties, harrassments and encouragements, consequent upon the reconstruction of all private as well as all public interests. Already, too, the languor and weariness consequent upon high and protracted excitement, is passing away, and the apathy-almost antipathy - with which for a time the fatigued public looked upon every attempted recital of the calamitous incidents hardly yet escaped from, is yielding, to an awakening interest born of the refreshment arising from repose. The actors in the actual conflict, recovered from exhaustion, are beginning to winnow, from the limitless abundance of the war literature, such portions as relate to the scenes in which they bore part, and to read them with a critical and careful Interest. Those, too, who, though removed from personal danger, in remote and desolate homes, agonized over the peril of fathers, husbands, brothers, sods, gone to the field, and in numberless instances out of deep poverty, hot with exulting self-sacrifice, contributed and sent to the far-away camp all those necessaries as well as delicacies so precious and priceless to the soldier in service, are also beginning to feel that a full and Just account of the outside effort made by the people at large, in the dreary conflict, should, in justice to the cause of truth and for the interests of history, be placed permanently on record. History accords her high places to the battle field. Hardly secondary, however, is the position which righteously belongs to the record of the Individual preparation, effort and sacrifice which, though remote from the field of action, anticipates and assures victory in the conflict.
