Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Ninety-Fifth Pennsylvania Volunteers (Gosline´s Pennsylvania Zouaves), In the Sixth Corps: An Historical Paper The "Union Cockade," and red, white, and blue ribbon fever was yet at its height, when the three months´ volunteers returned to their homes from a brief campaign in Maryland and Virginia. The country was still in a state of excitement, and brisk recruiting was going on at all points. Philadelphia had been and was still doing a noble work towards her share in suppressing the rebellion, and the South was just beginning to feel the reverberation of the "Ruffin Gun" fired by the Marlbourne Virginia farmer. The popular uprising, however, had not yet reached its zenith, for a distrustful element hovered about the horizon, which needed only to burst to give true color to the immensurability of a struggle begun somewhat on the principle of "When fools take up the sword, wise people are compelled to take the shield for many believed (and rightly, too) that our sister States of the South had foolishly taken up arms against a supposition of wrong; and we of the North, East, and West had only to lay hold on the shield to restore order. A number of fine regiments had already left for the seat of war, under the new call of President Lincoln for three years´ volunteers, and many others were in process of organization. The Washington Blues, a military company of Philadelphia, had been in existence since the 17th of August, 1817. Its first captain being Robert Patterson, late Major-General of volunteers (since deceased). At the outbreak of the rebellion it numbered seventy-five muskets, under command of Captain John M. Gosline, of Philadelphia, a tailor by trade, who had for many years been connected with the company. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
