Historical Address Delivered B PDF Download

Excerpt from Address Delivered by General Wm: B. Bate Among the criticisms of the press, the American of October 7, in presenting the sildre of General Bate, made the following introductory remarks: "A Masterly Speech - Ex-Confederates Addressed by an Honored Chieftain - Gen. Wm. B.Bate on the Historic Battle-Ground at Franklin - Eloquent, Patriotic, and a Stirring Plea for the Truth of History. "The American of this morning is enabled to give to those who heard, and to the ex-Confederates of the South, the address of Gen. Wm. B.Bate. The speech was made Friday, at Franklin, Tenn., on the field of the now historic battle, which bears the name of the town near which it was fought, and in which so many brave lives were given up for a righteous cause. "The speech was listened to with great interest, and inspired the enthusiasm that always greets the utterances of the distinguished orator. "It is well for the South that such men as General Bate live to fight now, in times of peace, for the correct writing of the history of those great battles of blood, which shook a continent, and for more than four years taught the world the true meaning of war."
