Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Our Standard Bearer: Life Sketches and Speeches of Gen. Clinton B. Fisk We have never undertaken a more pleasing task, than the one now before us. Providence has bestowed talents upon those who will use them aright, with a lavish hand. General Fisk has received larger and richer endowments than the most of his fellow creatures, and so far as we have been able to learn, has never perverted a power to a sinister purpose. Whatever he has been called to do, his good nature, clear judgment, strong body, courageous heart and Christian fortitude have been the reserve forces upon which he could draw at sight. The places he has been called to fill, the honors of citizen and soldier, the council necessary in great emergencies, the ever widening field of his usefulness, have all united to make him a marked character in our national history. He has received honors from the great and good, and the heartfelt affections of the lowly whom he befriended. In the production of this work we have drawn mostly from the words of the great man whom we have personally known for nearly a quarter of a century. Some of the incidents here given are reproduced from army life, and are very vivid. We acknowledge the valuable assistance of Rev. - Lawrence, Richard Whately, Daily Press, New York Herald, Christian Advocate, N. Y., Re-Union Call, Ocean Grove Record, The Herald, Kansas City, International Sunday School Report and a very voluminous private note and scrap book.
