Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Ulysses S. Grant: A Paper Read Before the Missouri Commandery of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States, May 1st, 1886
Yes, comrades, methinks I see the vast army, who, in the field of fierce conflict and sufferings, who died for their country while executing the orders of him whose tongue is now silent in death, who passed over onto the other side from. Under the shadow of the flag, standing side by side with the great mar shal of our valiant hosts, the martyred Lincoln, looking down over the battlements of heaven upon the scenes and ceremonies of August 8th, 1885 mourning with us that a great and mighty man had fallen. Great and mighty man, did I say? Yes, verily, a great man, whose greatness will continue to unfold and develop as the years pass by, and the time comes when freed from passion and prejudices, his acts and conduct can and will be judged and rewarded by impartial jurists.
