Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Hearings Before the Committee on the Library: House of Representatives, on H. R. 13045 The committee met at 10.30 o´clock a. m., Hon. James L. Slayden (chairman) presiding. The Chairman. Gentlemen, the committee has assembled for the purpose of hearing what may be said in support of H. R. 13045. This particular meeting was called at the request of Mr. Borland, and we will recognize him as being in charge of the matter and let him put on his witnesses as he sees fit, with the simple request that the hearing be expedited as much as possible, because each member of this committee has other things that require attention. We are going to give you to-day, but would like to push it along as fast as possible, and would like to have you make your speeches as brief as can be done. Mr. Borland. I would like to have Mr. Talbott make the first address. Statement of Hon. Joshua F. C. Talbott, a Representative From the State of Maryland. Mr. Talbott. Mr. Chairman, I will not occupy your time more than a very few minutes. I am an old Confederate soldier myself, and we of the South, so far as we are able, have erected monuments and memorials to our people, and I do not think a more fitting memorial can be erected to President Lincoln than a highway connecting the National Capital with the battle field that was the high-water mark of the advance of our people. The war is over, and we would all like to have, so far as I know, this memorial erected to President Lincoln. Of course it would be a benefit to our State, and that part of it through which it is constructed would be greatly beautified. I do not believe that any other memorial could be or would be more appreciated by the people at large than this highway. The monument is something - everybody has a monument, and if we had a memorial in the shape of a monument in Washington people would come and see it here in the same way that they do other monuments, but this highway would be something different from anything else. It would confer a benefit upon the people as well as being an ornament to the country, and would be appreciated by everybody. A road connecting the Capital with this great battle field will be used by thousands and thousands of people as long as the world lasts. Historians will visit it, Army officers will visit it, and people of all nations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
