Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Meaning of the Battle of Bennington Almost at the precise moment when this Union Old Home Week Service began, there were arriving, one hundred and twenty-six years ago, at the Meeting House which stood near the middle of the Green in front of this edifice, the prisoners taken in Bennington Battle. The regular soldiers were under guard, but their Tory allies, as a mark of special indignity, were pinioned two and two. At about the same time there were arriving at various Bennington homes their own soldier wounded. To the Catamount Tavern, not far to the north of this edifice, there was borne, this same evening, the blanched and gory body of John Fay, sou of the venerable Stephen Kay, landlord of that famous hostelry; and to three other homes of Bennington the dead were also being borne. Stephen Fay had five sons in the Battle. Being informed that he was unfortunate in one of them, he inquired whether he had misbehaved or had deserted his post. When he learned the truth he thanked God that he had a sou willing to give his life for his Country, and insisted on preparing the body for burial with his own hands. Because this service coincides in time with the anniversary of such stirring events, I am asking you to think with me of the subject which has been announced.
