Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln: Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, of the United States; Annual Oration Delivered Before the Society of the Army of the Potomac, at Pittsburg October 11 1899 With each succeeding reunion of the Society of the Army of the Potomac, the task assigned its Orator becomes increasingly difficult. The story of the grand Army has been told so eloquently, its great battles have been so forcefully described, its commanders have been eulogized so lovingly, the heroism and endurance of its men have been recounted with such enthusiasm, such full presentation has been made of all phases of its glorious history - its hopes, its fears, its defeats, its victories, the splendid review which marked its passing, the controversies concerning its campaigns - that there remains little untold. The object of the Society being memorial and historic rather than philosophic or prophetic, I am constrained to choose a theme associated with the past rather than to consider the questions of to-day, or the outlook for the future, or the trend of destiny. Thus constrained, and so limited, I ask your patience whilst I strive to present some phases of the character of Abraham Lincoln, Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States in its greatest war, hoping that the theme will not be deemed inappropriate to this occasion, for whilst he commanded all the armies of the Union, his association with the Army of the Potomac was ever closest and most intimate. It was the only Army that he personally visited and reviewed, and whilst he was interested alike in the success of all, the success of this was of most vital import, for upon the Army of the Potomac rested in especial sense, the defence of the Capital, the prevention of foreign interference, the very life of the Nation. Such is the veneration in which the memory of Abraham Lincoln is held, such is the halo which surrounds his name and his history, that it is difficult now to recall him to view as he was before the War.
