Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Andrew Jackson: An Address Delivered on the Plains of Chalmette, New Orleans, La;, On January 8, 1915, at the Centennial Celebration of the Battle of New Orleans, Held Under the Auspices of the Louisiana Historical Society Mr. Chairman, United Daughters and Sons of the Revolution and of the War of 1812, Veterans and Descendants of Veterans of all our Wars, Venerable Survivors of the Washington Artillery, Members of the Louisiana Historical Society, Citizens of Neiv Orleans and Guests of this Occasion, Ladies and Gentlemen: From the time of the so-called Spanish Conspiracy, which had for its central object the maintenance of unfettered intercourse between the Ohio and Mississippi Valleys and their navigable water-ways, and which romantic plot cast both a glamour and a gloom over the early history of Kentucky, down to this good day, the people of that proud commonwealth have ever gazed with wistful and longing eyes down the long-winding course of the Mississippi to this Imperial Gateway of the Republic, magnificent New Orleans, the zenith city of the Gulf. To a Kentuckian, no higher compliment, surely, could be paid than to be given an opportunity, on this memorable anniversary, and on this historic field, within sight of the majestic Father of Waters, and under the shadow of this splendid monument, to speak in commemoration of the mighty commander and the valiant forces wlio so successfully contested this ground with their British foes a century ago. One and all, I hasten to thank you for the high privilege which is mine at this hour. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
