when some visitor exclaimed to one who
was little rough. "Oh, you tiger" II
became "A catchword and as a term OF
playful reproach You're tiger was
adopted as one of the peculiar phrases of
the corps. On the route to Boston some
musical genius sang an impromptu lire:
"Oh. YOU tigers. don't you know" to the
tune of Rob Roy McGregor. OH" OF
course the appellation soon induced the
tigers by name To initiate the actions of
the tigers, and the howl was introduced.
At the end of three cheers a "ttger'' or
howl was invariably called for In 1895
the infantry visited New York City, being
the first volunteer corps 10 make n trip

there the tigers at public festival awoke

by the troops OF both armies in all the great battles
that occurred in the immediate vicinity OF Atlanta
1t IS fitting that the Federal Government, which now
stands for all who were engaged, should establish
the proposed national park and embellish it on 4
scale commensurate with the herosm displayed in
the struggle in which the American soldiers were
matched against themselves"
In conclusion the Constitution adds: 1--WE cannot
conceive OF an objection that can be made against
the requirement OF the battlefield OF Peachtree
Creek by the Government and the establishment on
that historic ground OF national park" Certainly
The Call has no objection to urge Our only regret
is that Fremont did not have fight with somebody
on the site OF Sutros forest so that we could get the
National Government to buy that and give free park
