A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Mr. Webster personally, and loved and honored him. I heard his oration before the New York Historical Society just before I went to college. In my Freshman year I went to his funeral, and saw him lie in simple state on his lawn at Marshfield. Every flag was at half-mast and every street draped in mourning. The hills were black with the countless throngs who assembled to pay the last tribute of respect to the first American of his day. The country showed how deeply it felt the loss of him who for fifty years had served it faithfully. My soul took in something of the universal emotion. Then again, the men who influenced me in my youth were alive to the difficulties of the political situation, and their talk was of Mr. Webster, and the country, and the Union, and of the part he had played in the long struggle that attended their growth, and that finally Mected their preservation. I lived through the Civil War and saw what that preservation cost when the final grapple came.
