Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address and Poem: Delivered at the Unveiling of the Monument Erected to the Memory of the Confederate Dead of Warren County, N. C., August 27, 1903 Mrs. President, Ladies of the Memorial Association, Old Soldiers, Ladies and Gentlemen: This vast assemblage attests the deep emotion which has been excited by the occasion. This great throng, with countenances radiant with sympathy and uplifted reverently, but proudly, in this open temple of the skies, proclaim that the purpose of our meeting has affected our hearts most profoundly. We could not, if we would, subdue the feelings which sway us today. Our thoughts and our affections are with the spirits of our kinsmen and our friends who gave their lives for us in a cause that failed. With a few exceptions we know not where on Glory´s historic ground their bodies lie; but this we know, that the crushed hearts of many who are now living lie buried with them. There are wives, mothers, daughters, sisters and other souls faithful and tender who would rejoice to sleep at last, dust to dust, in those unmarked and unknown graves with the objects of their affections; for, "Where the heart has laid down what it loved most, it is desirous of laying itself down." If in our power, we would gather the sacred ashes of each of these cherished ones from his shallow grave, and deposit them with loving hands around this stone.
