Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Address Delivered at the Funeral of Capt. William F. Brigham: In Feltonville, Mass;, Feb; 18, 1865 "For death cometh through our windows, it entereth our palaces; it cutteth off the children prom the street, and the young men from the public places." Jer. IX ch.: 21 verse. How striking and affecting the contrast between the scene we behold to-day, and that which we beheld on that bright and beautiful day of August, 1862, when he whose lifeless form lies before us, stood upon our public square with his soldier-comrades, and received the tearful farewells of this community! In that group of gallant volunteers for Union and Freedom, none were more enthusiastic and devoted, none carried to the defense of the imperilled cause a clearer head, a braver arm, or a better heart. He had eloquently invoked the patriotic self-denial of our young men, and when they seemed to hesitate for a leader he showed that he understood the eloquence of action as well as of speech. Promptly, cheerfully, eagerly he pledged his services in a military capacity, and from the hour of his enlistment he gave his entire time and energies to the recruitment of a company from this neighborhood tor the U. S. Army. I speak from personal observation when I testify to the earnestness and alacrity with which he committed himself to the sacred duties which he then undertook.
