Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lincoln and Sickles My Dear General Sickles: My plan and desire was to meet you at Gettysburg on the interesting ceremony attending the unveiling of the Slocum monument; but to-day I find myself in no condition to keep the promise made you when last we were together. I am quite disabled from a severe hurt in one of my feet, so that I am unable to stand more than a minute or two at a time. Please express my sincere regrets to the noble Army of the Potomac, and to accept them, especially, for yourself. On that field you made your mark that will place you prominently before the world as one of the leading figures of the most important battle of the Civil War. As a Northern veteran once remarked to me: "General Sickles can well afford to leave a leg on that field." I believe that it is now conceded that the advanced position at the Peach Orchard, taken by your corps and under your orders saved that battlefield to the Union cause. It was the sorest and saddest reflection of my life for many years; but, to-day I can say, with sincerest emotion, that it was and is the best that could have come to us all. North and South; and I hope that the nation, re-united, may always enjoy the honor and glory brought to it by that grand work. Please offer my kindest salutations to your Governor and your fellow-comrades of the Army of the Potomac.
