Frazier who said in part:
Early last spring when the signal of
danger was hoiSted and the call to
arms was made by President McKin

liens of this country, the world had
never seen. The farmer dropped his
plow. the mechanic his tools. the law
yer his books. Young and old. rich and
poor. came. Side by side marched the
heir to thousands, reared in the lap of
luxury, and the sturdy son of toll
whose sole capital was his brain and
muscle.
From every town, county, state and
territory. from where the storm tossed

could hear the roll of the drum and the /
tread of the marching hosts; their
hearts filed with the patriotic ardor TO

grand uprising of the loyal masses +

Among the brave leaders was a 10y

who had borne the hardShips of camp

lighting WITH gun IN naQu where Tile
enemy was entrenched, he assaulted
their works and called to his men to
follow him to victory or death. 1t was
to victory. but death and wounds were
also there.
