when he was superseded by Gen. o. o.
Howard This country in its earlier
history had the supreme advantage OF
compulsory immigration Of great bodies
OF the citizens of Europe sent hither by
the force of religious and political per-
secu:ion. Probably the most important
OF these, next to the Stuart rebellion in
England iE l745. which brought here
many thousands OF the English, Scotch.
and Irish Presbyterians, was the So
called revolution OF lSlS in Germany
which eXpatriated very many thou
sands of the educated. enthusiastic,
idealistic young men CT the fatherland.
They were wonderful enrichment Of
this country in every way. and many OF
them have beer very prominent in our
political. social. and business affairs.
The military leader among them was
Gen. Franz Sgel who had successfully
conducted brilliant retreat of the
young revolutionists in front OF an over
wheiming force OF the royal troops. He
likewise had much OF fame as an edu-
Gated artillerist. These young Germans
formed 4 very large and influential por-
tion or the citizens OF st. Louis, and
during the stormy days Immediately
preceding the war threw their influence
Solidly for the Union. They regarded
franz Sigel as the first soldier among
them. and he was immediately elected
colonel OF 4 regiment of home guards,
which had. | believe. strong influence
in retaining Missouri in the Union.
