Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Siege and Evacuation of Savannah, Georgia, in December 1864: An Address Delivered Before the Confederate Survivors' Association, in Augusta, Georgia, on the Occasion of Its Twelfth Annual Reunion on Memorial Day, April 26th, 1890
By the necrological record of each recurring year are we reminded, my Comrades, that the mortality among those who were actively engaged in the military and civil service of the Confederacy is augmenting in a rapidly increasing ratio. We had scarcely departed from this Hall, a twelve month ago, when we were apprised of the death near Paris, France, in absolute retirement and at a very advanced age, of the Hon. A. Dudley Mann who, during the war, was entrusted with an important diplomatic mission.
On the 31st of last May S. P. Moore - Surgeon general of the Confederate States - was overtaken by that gaunt foe whose grim advances in camp, in hospital, and in bloody battle he had, during more than four years of exposure, privation, and carnage, essayed to check.
