Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Re-Organization of Florida: An Address Delivered Before a Meeting of the Citizens of Nassau County, Florida, at King´s Ferry, on St. Mary´s River, on Saturday, July 22, 1865 My Fellow-Citizens, old friends of Nassau County, - I greet you. After a long separation, more crowded with great events than any four years you and I have ever known, or ever will know, we come together again, in our old relation, I hope, friends and brethren. During the last three years, the orders of the Secretary of War have kept me within sight of your homes. I have looked this way across the river that divided us; have seen the light of the picket-fire in the winter night, and the gleam of the sentry´s polished bayonet in the sunshine. I have looked through my field-glass at the pine-trees on this side, imagining what limb would be most convenient to hang to if I should be caught by your fellows; and I think I discovered the very tree that seemed most to invite such a decoration. Doubtless some men believed that I would gladly have come over by stealth, with soldiers, to massacre your guards, or take them captive to Fort Clinch. But I think I may safely say that to-day there is no man living within fifty miles of my post, in Georgia or Florida, that believes any thing of the kind.
