The Fallen Brave PDF Download

Excerpt from The Fallen Brave: Biographical Memorial of the American Officers Who Have Given Their Lives for the Preservation of the Union While our land was teeming with plenty, busy with the hum of industry, and looking hopefully forward to the glorious future before it, a chasm suddenly yawned in its midst, threatening destruction to our Republic. Curtius-like, many a brave man has plunged in, glad to offer his life, his arms, and his courage, if the sacrifice could close the abyss, and restore union to the land. Rome embalmed in eternal benediction the memory of her Curtius, shall we be less grateful to a Ward, a Lyon, a Baker, an Ellsworth, a Winthrop, a Lowe, a Cameron, a Haggerty, or the other noble officers who have reckoned their lives as naught in the hour of our country's peril?
