Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address by the Hon. Chauncey M. Depew, at the Memorial Service by the Legislature of the State of New York: For President Chester An; Arthur, in the Assembly Chamber, at Albany, Wednesday Evening, April, 20, 1887 Gentlemen of the Senate and Assembly of the State of New York: The twenty-first President of the United States was the third from the State of New York who had filled that high office. The administration and personal career of each of them form marked features of our national history. The conditions which prepared them for public duty were strikingly alike. Each was the sole architect of his own fortunes and without the aid of family or wealth. They were of the type of most of the men who have always controlled Parties and managed the Government. Receiving in their youth the training and influence of christian homes, starting in life with no other endowment than health, character, courage and honorable ambition, they became leaders and rulers in their generations. The historian of the future will fill most of his pages, devoted to our first century, with the rise and fall of the slave power. In that story the parts of Martin Van Buren, Millard Fillmore and Chester A. Arthur will be of dramatic interest. The revolt of Van Buren in 1848, was the first organized effort for freedom which had strength or votes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
