Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sketch of Dabney Carr Harrison, Minister of the Gospel: And Captain in the Army of the Confederate States of America Capt. Harrison was descended, on either side, from sturdy patriots. He was the kinsman of two of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. One of them was its illustrious author; the other was the father of President Harrison. I shall be pardoned for devoting a few lines to the memory of his great-grandfather, Dabney Carr, especially as this association of names serves to draw our first great Revolution and our second into closer relation. He had the honor of bringing forward in the House of Burgesses, A. D. 1773, a measure for the creation of what Mr. Wirt calls "that powerful engine of resistance, - corresponding committees between the legislatures of the different colonies." Though but twenty-nine years of age, he "was considered," says the same high authority, "by far the most formidable rival in forensic eloquence that Patrick Henry had ever yet had to encounter." He describes "his devotion to the cause of liberty" as "verging on enthusiasm," while "his spirit" was "firm and undaunted, beyond the possibility of being shaken." His career, too, was brief as it was brilliant. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
