Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Commemorative Exercises at Unveiling and Dedication of the Ft; Meigs Monument: September 1, 1908 There is no doubt that the earth works of Fort Meigs in 1813, manned by as brave a band of heroic officers and men as ever battled for human rights, saved the continent from the invasion of tyranny. It was indeed the hardy band of pioneer soldiery under Gen. Wm. H. Harrison, that turned back the British mercenaries and their savage Indian allies under Gen. Proctor. It was indeed a memorable event not only in the history of the Maumee Valley, but it was one of national significance as well. It proved a triumph in our national history when the British hordes were driven back broken and discomfited, and this glorious heritage, now dotted with thriving towns and cities and peaceful homes, was saved from foreign thraldom and spoliation. The Ovation of 1840. Twenty-seven years afterwards, during the famous campaign of General Harrison for the presidency, in 1840, the people came in great crowds numbered by thousands, to do honor to the heroic defender of Fort Meigs, and to visit the scene of his struggles with the savage hordes of British intolerance and oppression. The brave old soldier then delivered an address on the same spot where now stands the beautiful monument erected to the memory of those brave soldiers. It was indeed a memorable occasion. No man ever received a warmer ovation from the many thousands assembled. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
