Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Address Commemorative of Seven Young Men of Danvers, Who Were Slain in the Battle of Lexington: Delivered in the Old South Meeting House, in Danvers We have come together on an occasion of more than ordinary interest and solemnity. We have come to pay the tribute of our respect and gratitude to the memory of seven young men of Danvers, the chosen sons of Liberty, who nobly offered their lives a sacrifice for their country´s freedom. With funeral dirges, with an impressive address from a worthy veteran, with holy invocation, with all due solemnity, we have laid on a foundation, deep and firm, the corner stone of a Monument, which shall hold in lasting commemoration the names of Samuel Cook, Benjamin Daland, George South-wick, Jotham Webb, Henry Jacobs, Ebenezer Goldth-wait and Perley Putnam, who were slain in the battle of Lexington. Yesterday´s peaceful Sabbath, that day which God has hallowed and blessed, which our ancestors have remembered to keep holy as a time for rest, for prayer and meditation - long may their posterity follow the pious example! Yesterday´s peaceful Sabbath was the 60th anniversary of that event, so interesting in the history of our country, so interesting in the history of civil liberty throughout the world. The time, the place, the occasion, the presence of these venerable men, the fellow soldiers and worthy companions of those self devoted victims - this imposing military array and this large and attentive assembly - cannot fail to awaken solemn, grateful, heartfelt emotions. How different this serene and quiet morning from that day of alarms, of dangers, of violence and death! How different our feelings from those which agitated and convulsed the forms which peopled these dwellings and hurried through these streets.
