Record Of Proceedings At The Annual Re Union PDF Download

Excerpt from Record of Proceedings at the Annual Re-Union: Held in the City of New Haven, Conn;, May 14th, 1873 As the hour set for the formal gathering Of the society was 3 o'clock in the afternoon, comrades took advantage of the leisure of the forenoon hours to exchange cordial greetings and form in congenial groups to revive the hallowed memories of the camp and of the field, and of the honored companionship of their dead. Each told again to each varied incidents of battle-life. Each in turn drew from the rest the soldier's merry laugh and ready compliment, the warm encomium for the brave living, and the tender eulogium and blessing Of the brave dead. At a few minutes of three o'clock the comrades formed at the New Haven House, and marched to the place of rendezvous the Music Hall. Here they found the spacious galleries already filled to the farthest limit with eager and interested Spectators, of whom fully three-fourths were the fair women of New Haven. The hall was tastefully and appropriately decorated. The main floor having been reserved for the members of the society, the stage was provided with accommodations for the Officers and prominent members of the society, and a few invited guests. The hall is estimated to accommodate two thousand persons, and it was packed in every part. The most unreserved enthusiasm pervaded the scene - the spectators uniformly - the ladies nota bly - participating in honors and applause to the soldiers. Every face was bright and glad, and everybody was, or seemed to be. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
