Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Oration Delivered by Gen´l Francis a Walker: At the Soldiers´ Monument Dedication in North Brookfield, Jan; 19, 1870 My Friends: This is peculiarly the Soldiers´ Day. Perhaps we are never less fitted to sympathize with the individual soldier than when indulging the thoughts and feelings proper to the anniversary celebration of some great battle, as when, last summer, thousands were assembled at Gettysburg to commemorate the deeds of that historic field. The dedication of a monument to a distinguished commander, calls up a single majestic figure in which concentres all the glory and renown of a score of battles - from which radiates victory almost as a personal emanation. But an occasion like this which has called us together to-day, brings up the individual soldier in all the variety of his martial experience, march, bivouac, hospital, not less than foughten field, in all the sacredness, and it may be the sorrow, of his domestic relations. This shaft evokes no images of battle as a grand panorama of charging lines and gleaming squadrons, over which presides some heroic spirit, grand and terrible, the genius of desolation, but also of victory. These village commemorations of the fallen brave call up no such pictures of grandeur or terror. They minister nothing to fame, nothing to the love of gloiy, nothing to the passion of war.
