Excerpt from Address at the Dedication of the Washington County Soldiers Monument
WE meet to-day, the people of the oldest county in the Northwest - the county which once included in its borders all of the Northwest then under civil jurisdiction - to dedi cate a monument in memory of those of our citizens who fell as soldiers in a great struggle, which - devolved upon us by dissensions growing out of the colonial differences of the Atlantic States - the people of the Northwest, by their comparative unity, enthusiasm, and devotion - aided by their controlling geographical position - were enabled, in the providence of God, mainly to decide.
