Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Official Souvenir Program, Forty Seventh National Encampment, Grand Army of the Republic: Chattanooga, Tenn; September Fifteenth Twentieth, 1913 Chattanooga is happy in having at last attained its ambition to be the host of such honored guests as your good selves. Not with the forbidding aspect, nor in the torn and ragged raiment in which she met the Union Hosts in 1863, does she greet you today, but with a smiling countenance of joyous welcome and in the bright garb of one of the South´s most modern cities, she now extends the hand of welcome! It has been our endeavor to build upon a historic site, with the help of fellow citizens from both armies, a monument to American greatness, in the form of a city typifying all that is best in American life. Withal we have not been unmindful of the duty of preserving the memories of the momentous events in which you took part and have counted it a privilege to co-operate in the preservation of the great battlefields of this section and their conversion into beautiful military parks for the benefit of this and succeeding generations - parks impartially marked with stone and bronze, that those heroic deeds may be for all time held in reverent and sympathetic remembrance. It is an evidence of the bond of friendship which now exists between all sections of this great Nation that you are here. Our endeavor during the coming week will be to make your visit an epochal event in your life. May the fellowship of the week be as sweet as the memories of those other days will be tender.
