Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Youth in the Rebellion: Address Before Geo; H. Ward Post 10, G. A. R.; June 3, 1883 Less than a twelvemonth since, there was enacted, in the city hall of Worcester, a scene that deserves a lasting place in our memories. Grouped about the mayor were a score or more of men who had special interest in certain bits of worn and tattered bunting that were to be placed for safe keeping in a receptacle prepared for them through the thoughtfulness of the city´s executive. To the casual observer these striped and bestarred banners were flags only, inspiring no thought of the history connected with each fold and thread. But Corporal Rice, who held the flag of the 15th, had seen it when rebel lines broke before it at Gettysburg; Lieut. Barnard, of the 57th, recalled the terrible days of the Wilderness, when two hundred and fifty of his comrades were killed, wounded or missing; men of the 51st lived over again the campaigns in the Carolinas; on the folds of the flag of the 34th could be read the long, weary marches, and the gallant fighting in Western Virginia; Sergeant Putnam, who bore the flag of the 25th, once more heard the rebel yell at Cold Harbor and Petersburg; while Sergeant Plunkett of the 21st saw the river and St. Mary´s Height at Fredericksburg, saw again his three dead and six wounded comrades, all beneath those folds, and once more beheld his own blood staining that banner a deeper crimson, when, his two good arms falling, he became the armless hero we know so well.
