have walked into Fort Morgan if there

to be erected on the battlefield of second

The measure provides for an appropria-
tion for the purpose stated out of the State
Treasury. We hope to be able to dedicate
the monument next Fall. This will. | be-
lieve, be the first State monument erected
on that historic field. Such an example
will. doubtless, be an incentive to other
States to do likewise, and l am sure that
other New York organizations will also be
eager to erect similar monuments to the
memory of their fallen comrades on the
same field. | will urge upon the organ
izations of this State to take the matter up
earnestly. All needed to make the project
success is example and advocacy. lni-
tiative in matters of this kind generally
leads to general adoption. Another inn
pOrtant point is that the success of our
bill will be strongly in favor of the pass
ing of Senator Martin and Congressman
RiXey's (of Nirginial measure, asking for
an appropriation from the Federal Govern
ment for the purchase of the battlefield of
First and Second Bull Run. There is
general sentiment that the Government
ought to purchase the historic site and
have it laid out as National Park Bat
tlefeld
The State of New York is deeply inter-'
ested in the preservation of this battlefield
for all future time, as the losses of the
State troops were extremely heavy in each
Of the four engagements fought there. The
losses of the New York State troops in the
four battles fought on that historic field
were as follows First Bull Run. July q,
1861: killed, 219; wounded, 451; total,
go. Gainesville, August %, 1862, and
Groveton, Aug %, 1862 killed and wound
ed in these two engagements, 61S. Second
Bull Run. Aug. 30, 1862: killed, 667:
wounded 1897; total, 1864. This shows
the total loss in these four battles of New
York State troops to have been 4 ,942 men
killed and wounded.
The State of New York had SO organ
izations taking part in these four engage
ments, some of them participating in all
of them. Let us compare with the loss of
the New York State troops in those four
engagements their loss at Gettysburg;
we had in the latter battle 30 organiza
tions killed, $50; wounded. 4,O14; total
loss of 1894 men, showing that New York
lost only - more at the great battle of
Gettysburg than On the fields of Bull Run.
Thousands of our best and most patriotic
citizens have at various times expressed
their convictions that the historic battle
field of Bull Run ought to be made a Ma
tional Park in commemoration of the first
great battle of the struggle for the preser-
vation of the Union. This soil was enriched
by the blood and shattered forms of thou
sands of gallant men who there laid down
their lives in It's defense-JAMEs w.

address. at time when the events were
still fresh in the minds of those partlcl-
pating in the war. Had the statement
not been made by such high authority, ana
under such circumstances. 1t Is possiDle
that l would not now controvert 1t. but
pass it by as we do the usual campfire
yarn.
Surely. Comrades McIIenry and Ford
have not forgotten that the first battle in
Kentucky. during the civil war. was fought
at Wild Cat, in the hills near Rock Castle
River. Oct. ~. 1861.
Every kentucky soldier of that date
ought to know and remember that the rebel
Zolicoffer. made an effort to reach the
Blue Grass region with about 5000 sol
diers. and was prevented only by forward
movement of the Union troops stationed
at Camp Dick Robinson.
There were but few Union troops-Gar-
rard's and Wolford's Kentuckians.-at
Camp Wild Cat-not sufficient to stop Lol-
liCoffer: but the timely arrival on the even
ing of Oct. 20. 1861, of the 3:3d Ind. COM
manded by Col. Coburn, improved the con-
ditionS very materially.
On the morning of Oct. II. ZOlllc0ffer
advanced upon the camp with several Ten
nessee regiments. but in the meantime the
:S:'d Ind. was stationed to receive him. The
enemy made two attacks upon the position
held by the SD and was gallantly re-
pulsed-so soundly whipped that he did not
again attempt to reach the Blue IfaSS
region until he met his defeat and death
at Mill Springs, several months later.
There were other Union regiments at
Wild Cat, but they did not arrive until
the close of the fight, or at least not in
time to participate in the affair, except
to take position.
Now. remember. this battle was fought
Oct. 81, 1S61-nine days before the affair
took place at Aiorgantown. so that the first
J'nion soldier killed i'm battle in Kentucky
during the civil war was Lewis G.. Meier

that he committed the acts charged,
but his defense was that when the acts
