Under the shadow of the ¿ag, 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.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
