Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ulysses S. Grant: A Paper Read Before the Missouri Commandery of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States, May 1st, 1886 Companions: General U. S. Grant was born April 27th, 1822, in a little one-story house on the banks of the Ohio River, in the village of Point Pleasant, in Clermont County, in the State of Ohio. His eventful life covered a period of sixty-three years and three months lacking four days. Our Grand and Great Old Commander, in whom we all had the most implicit confidence in the days of the terrible conflict through which we passed in 1861 and 1865, is dead. Nay, but a sleep - simply at parade rest. He will never die in the hearts of the American people. But his influence, like the orb of day, will rise and set day by day to shine the brighter and the clearer, through the cycles of time, until the land that gave him birth shall be destroyed in the final conflagration of the earth, when time shall be no more. His lifeless form has received the last office-work and tribute of respect from his comrades, his nation, and the mourning millions of the whole earth who recognized his greatness, honored his achievements, experienced his humanity and now mourn his loss. The unparalleled world-wide admiration manifested toward the great American Soldier in life, but now, in death, the subject of our national grief, made his mourning universal, not only throughout the length and breadth of our own land, north, south, east and west, but reached out in its universality wherever the sun sheds its rays, covering all oceans, seas, lakes and rivers; every land, nation and tongue upon the habitable globe.
