Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Autumnal Speeches in 1898 My Friends: When I was first invited by the Young Men´s Christian Association of Newport to come here some Sunday evening and speak to you under their tent in this camp, I hesitated, because I am more at home on the platform than in the pulpit. But when I passed the Forty-seventh New York Regiment on the road the other day, and it gave me those hearty and welcome cheers, I decided at the first opportunity to give a New York greeting to my friends of the Forty-seventh. Peace seems assured and you may not realize your desire to go to the front and face the enemy on the battlefield. But when a citizen has left behind him his home, his family and his business and enlisted as a soldier, he has done his duty to his country. Whether he is ordered to Newport or Chickamauga, to Peekskill or Tampa, to Cuba or Porto Rico, his meed of praise, his performance of duty, is the same. He cheerfully obeys the command for the fort or the fight, but longs for the fight. This war has demonstrated the inestimable value of the National Guard of the several States. Our country had been at peace for thirty-two years. Congress had annually thrown out the demands of the War Department as unnecessary and extravagant for a nation which could never be driven into war.
