Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Decoration Day, 1882: Ceremonies in Union Square and at the Cemeteries From the foot of Lincolns statue in Union Square, the solemn ceremonies of Decoration Bay, May 30th, 1882, were ushered in by Abraham Lincoln Post No. 13, in the presence of thousands of citizens, and of an unusual number of distinguished guests. The heavens, resonant as it were with the patriotic sentiments that pervaded all the people, smiled benignantly upon the picturesque scene that was witnessed around the martyr President´s statue in the early morning hour, and all around the great square, which has been made sacred by the events of the great civil war. Encomiums, were heard upon the enthusiasm with which, even at daybreak, several comrades assisted Mr. G. W. Wilson, the florist, in perfecting his artistic decoration of the statue. It was evident, even then, that Decoration Day of 1882 would surpass in grandeur and solemnity any previous observance of the day. The heart of New York, always loyal, never lukewarm, always proud of the deeds of its sons, beat in unison with the survivors of those comrades who fell on the "Field of Honor" that the Republic might live. No greater significance was ever attached to these patriotic celebrations than by the reverence shown in that early morning hour by the masses of citizens to the statue of the Martyr, the Emancipator, the Man of the people, and for the people, who saved the Union of these States, for their good, their welfare and their happiness.
