Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Address Delivered Before the Society of the Army of the Cumberland: At Its Seventeenth Reunion, September 16, 1885, Grand Rapids, Michigan,; Also, the Remarks at the Banquet None can regret more than I that the comrade who has been announced to deliver the annual oration finds himself unable to be here to-night. I had promised myself, as among the chief of the many and choice pleasures of this Reunion, that I should hear him speak whose oratory is worthy - and there can be no higher praise - of the Army in which he served. Sickness detains his alternate, who would have filled, had he been here, his principal´s place, and there is devolved upon him who addresses you an unexpected duty, which he does not feel at liberty to decline so long as he wears the badge that recalls the memory of men who, individually and collectively, never failed to execute to the best of their ability the commands they received, how much so-ever they might question the wisdom of the orders given to them. Fortunately, the theme is prescribed: if it were not, the occasion and this presence would suggest it. For, as the eye falls upon these comrades - Comrades to-day as they were comrades nearly a quarter of a century ago - gathered from many a State and many an avocation, happy in their memory of the past, happy in the enjoyment of the present moment, and happy in their anticipation of the future; and then turns to rest upon this audience gathered to see them and bid them welcome with hearty and lavish hospitality, one can not fail to ask what is the history of that Army to which these men belong, and what is the purpose of the Society that bears its name?
