Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memorial of the Life and Services of Washington Bartlett (Late Governor of California): Adopted by the Society of California Pioneers, at a Regular Meeting, Held Monday, May 7, 1888 When the wise and tender-hearted Lincoln, scarcely below Washington in his services to the nation and to humanity, was plunged into immortality by the hand of an assassin, at the very heighth of his fame, our streets resounded with the tread of pale and determined men, whose souls were touched by a grief which transcended the limits of section and of party. When Garfield, after lengthened suffering, heroically endured, surrendered his breath to his Maker, and drew the North and the South indissolubly together, no State in the American Union, in proportion to its size and its development, surpassed California in the mixture of horror and affection which all American communities manifested. And when Grant, the successful General of the Civil War, after having expended his waning strength in one mighty effort to secure independence for his family, yielded up his spirit, in this broad and enlightened population there was no class that held back from tender and generous recognition of his unquestionable claim to the respect and to the gratitude of his countrymen. But, when every allowance has been made for increase in numbers and in all the diversified forms of opulence, and when all these manifestations of feeling have been fully and entirely recalled, it must still be said that the love and appreciation which were shown for Washington Bartlett were locally unequaled. It is true he was the first Governor of the State who died in office, but that is insufficient to account for the demonstration that attended his illness and his obsequies.
