Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Carrying the News of Lee´s Surrender to the Army of the Ohio: A Paper Read Before the Ohio Commandery of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States, November 2, 1887 The month of April, 1865, was momentous in its events relating to the War of the Rebellion. The veteran armies of the West and East were marshaling in Virginia and North Carolina for the last great struggle. The Army of the Ohio, transported from the field of its recent victories in Tennessee, had assisted in opening the ports of the Atlantic, so that supplies could be accumulated at such points as Sherman might find it necessary to touch, in his march from Savannah through the Carolinas. Having secured Wilmington and moved up the coast to Goldsboro, where food and clothing and munitions of war were sent from Newberne, we heard the thunders of Sherman´s guns at Bentonville, and, marching toward the sound of the artillery, effected a junction with the lost army and restored its communications with the armies in Virginia and with the National Capital. In quick succession great events were transpiring, and associated with them was an incident with which I was conspicuously connected. Its character is such that I will be pardoned, I am sure, if I use it tonight to entertain you for a few moments and enable you to recall with me those stirring scenes connected with the close of our army life.
