Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from To His Comrades in Arms, Volunteers and Regulars, of the Great Civil War: This Sincerely and Affectionately Dedicated Before deciding to write up our local biography and personal Memoirs, we had fully intended to write the lives and public services of the War-Governors. But in glancing over the Muncy (Penn.) Luminary, we were surprised, and much regret to state, that we were informed by that paper, that only three surviving War-Governors were yet living, namely, Samuel J. Crawford of Topeka, Kansas, Gen. William Sprague of Rhode Island, and Frederick Holbrook of Vermont. We received letters from Governors Crawford and Holbrook of Brattleboro, Vermont, both of whom consented to the noble and patriotic project. The civilization of our day, the enlightenment of the age, and the duty that men of the present time owe to their ancestors, to themselves and to their posterity, demand that a record of their lives and deeds should be made. In biographical history is found a power to instruct man by precedent, to enliven the mental faculties, and to waft down the river of time a safe vessel in which the names and actions of the people who contributed to raise this country from its primitive state may be preserved. In this volume will be found a record of many whose lives are worthy the imitation of coming generations. It tells how that many in the pride and strength of young manhood left the plow in the field, and the anvil in the blacksmith shop, left our common schools and colleges, the lawyer´s office and the counting-room, left every trade and profession, and at their country´s call went forth bravely "to do or die," and how through their noble efforts the Union was restored, and peace once more reigned in the land. In the life of every man and of every woman is a lesson that should not be lost upon those who follow after. In the galaxy of our noble dead - Lincoln, Grant, Logan, Hancock, Ellsworth, Stanley, Thomas and Sheridan - none deserve more fame than our departed comrades, Generals James A. Garfield and William T. Sherman. Their memories will be enshrined in the hearts of half a million of comrades of the Grand Army of the Republic.
