Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Presentation of Portrait of Governor William Richardson Davie to the State of North Carolina: In the Senate Chamber at Raleigh, November 15, 1910 Ladies and Gentlemen: We celebrate this afternoon the seventeenth anniversary of the organization of the North Carolina Society of the Sons of the Revolution. Want of interest in her history has long been a reproach to our State and has caused us to be neglected in the history of our country and almost disdained by our more pretentious neighbors. Our people have in too many cases been ignorant of their own State´s greatness and unable to assert or maintain her proper position among our sister States. In the past decade there has been a most gratifying patriotic awakening among our people. Our own writers and the historians of the country are beginning to recognize the heroic part played by our State in the building of the nation and in the life of the republic. Among the great agencies that have brought about this change are the various patriotic societies formed in this State to preserve the fame and perpetuate the memory of our great men and to celebrate the remarkable events in the history of North Carolina. Of these may be mentioned the North Carolina Society of Colonial Dames, the North Carolina Society of Daughters of the American Revolution, the North Carolina Society of Daughters of the Revolution, the United Daughters of the Confederacy, the Society of the Cincinnati, the North Carolina Historical Commission, the various historical societies, and last, but not least, the North Carolina Society of the Sons of the Revolution. This organization was instituted to perpetuate the memory of the men and times of the Revolution, and to keep alive "the Spirit of ´76." At the organization of the North Carolina Society of the Sons of the Revolution in 1893, Governor Elias Carr was chosen its first president.
