Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Address in Commemoration of the Birth of Abraham Lincoln: Delivered at the 337th Dinner of the New England Club An anonymous writer has said that, "as mountains mostly run in chains or clusters, crossing the plains at wider or narrower intervals, in like manner there are periods in History when great men appear in clusters also." This is true of the history of our own country. A patriotic American, wishing to discuss the great worth and noble deeds of any individual among the distinguished men of our country´s history, will find a galaxy of names from which to select. Of the Revolutionary period, Washington, Hamilton, the Adamses, Jefferson, Madison, Putnam, Greene, Stark, Knox, and Marion. Of the period following the Revolution and ending with the Great Rebellion, Webster, Clay, Benton, Jackson, Calhoun, John Quincy Adams, and others of equal worth but lesser note. Of that crucial period, the men and events of which are fresh in the recollection of those who do me the honor to listen, when the life of the Nation was saved by an outpouring of blood and treasure such as the world had never known, Grant, Sherman, Farragut, Sheridan, Thomas, Seward, Chase, Stanton, Sumner, Fessenden, Beecher, and others less renowned.
