that you are the last man who will
ever be allowed to return if he comes
over this side. Orders must be
obeyed''
Then the confederate officer, who
had so sternly said that Orders must
be obeyed," rode straight to his brig
adler and told him he had himself dis
obeyed orders, and the general, when
he heard the story, said: You have
done right. 1 would have done the
same myself"
That was the spirit that animated
in 1868, the soldiers who, two years be-
fore had for each other nothing but
hate, and month after month, as the
years rolled on and battle after battle
was fought, increased the admiration
of the two armies for each other. More
than thirty years have elapsed since
Grant refused to take the sword of
Lee at AppomattoX, and as we have
looked back at the past, that admira-
ton and respect have continued to in
crease, and as we look around at the
present we have come to confide in
and rely upon each other, and here
we today all meet as brothers to do
honor TO the valiant hosts that fought
at Missionary Ridge and Chickamauga:
Gentlemen, you who wore the Blue
in the days that tried mems souls are
not more true to the flag under which
you fought than are the men who
fought in Gray at Chickamauga and
Missionary Ridge. If the government
that ordained the dedication of this
national park is yours, so also is it
their government. It's privileges are
theirs and its promises are to them
and their children. They take pride
IN Its power and its prestige among
n q of
atty to the union as confederates who
once fought so bitterly against it is
the browning glory of heroes in Blue
Iot whom monuments are to be ded;-
