Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address of Hon. Legh R. Watts of Portsmouth, Virginia: Before the Sidney Lanier Chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy at Macon, Ga;, January 19th, 1908, Lee´s Birthday Mr. Chairman: I thank you, Colonel Harris, for your eloquent but all too complimentary words of introduction, and tender grateful acknowledgments to you, ladies of Sydney Lanier Chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy; to you, veterans of R. A. Smith Camp and Macon Camp; to you, young ladies of Wesleyan Female College; to you, citizen-soldiers; and to you, ladies and gentlemen, for this cordial reception and most generous welcome. While most gratifying to me personally, I can but regard it as an evidence of the sincere attachment and kinship which unites in the closest bonds of sisterhood, the Empire State of the South and the Old Dominion - it is Georgia´s greeting to Virginia, and speaking for Virginia, again I thank you. A great man has been defined as, "One who chooses the right with the most invincible resolution; who resists the sorest temptations from within and without; who bears the heaviest burdens cheerfully; who is calmest in storms and most fearless under menace and frowns; whose reliance on truth, on virtue, on God, is most unfaltering." In all periods and in all countries, the observance of certain days has been decreed by the church or the State in commemoration of some epoch-making event in its history, or as the birthday of one who wrought mightily and achieved great and beneficial results for the cause he represented or the times in which he lived.
