Book Description

Excerpt from Journal of the Twenty-Sixth National Encampment, Grand Army of the Republic, Washington, D. C., September 21st and 22d, 1892 It is peculiarly appropriate that the survivors of the Union armies should gather again in the Capital of the Nation, which through four long years of bloody strife they defended at the peril of their lives; and it brings to our minds vividly the name of that great man who, under the providence of God, successfully guided the affairs of the Nation through the crisis of its fate. While the peans of victory were still sounding in his ears he died, a martyr for his country, leaving behind him a fame which will brighten with the lapse of time.
