Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Bethlehem and Its Military Hospital: An Address Delivered at the Unveiling of a Tablet Erected by the Pennsylvania Society of Sons of the Revolution, June 19, 1897, in Memory of the Soldiers of the Continental Army, Who Suffered and Died at the Military Hospital at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania
We have made our pilgrimage this morning to this venerable town to recall to our grateful memories the stirring events, as full of pathos as of glory, which hallow it, and, so far as in us lies, to commemorate them by a tablet of lasting bronze. This is more than a sentimental tribute to the dead; it is a patriotic duty to the unborn.
