Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Dedication of the Monument at Andersonville, Georgia: October 23, 1907, in Memory of the Men of Connecticut Who Suffered in Southern Military Prisons, 1861-1865 With a promptness quite unmilitary, the "Andersonville Special" left New Haven on schedule time at 1 P.M., Monday, October 21, 1907. The conductor´s call of "All aboard" found all in their places, with nobody left. No happier 103 people ever started on so loving a quest, the old survivors´ joy in meeting each other being shared to the full by their guests. Thoughtful provision had been made for the comforts and needs of all, even to the presence of a skilled physician. With right of way, a clear track and fast train, distance was covered quickly, and greetings were hardly over and all comfortably settled for the trip when we found ourselves on the Maryland making the circuit of New York by water, a new experience to most and enjoyed by all. The penal and charitable institutions on the East River islands, the great bridges, the tall tower of the Singer Building with its forty-one stories, the Statue of Liberty, the old Castle Garden, where Jenny Lind sang so sweetly years ago, the great ocean liners at their piers, the ferry-boats crossing and re-crossing like shuttles, all held our close attention, while the stiff salt breeze from the bay made snug shelters in demand.
