| The marvellous story of what the
sons of this country did in the

gallant participant in those scenes

have the right to share in all it

chairman narrated the prowess and
courage of North Cardinals sons,
Bethel, Sharpesburg, Manassas,
Seven Pines, Malvern Hill and
the many other awful conflicts in

amauga, Resecca, Baton Rouge,
of our calvary under Morgan and

knightly courage of the SONS of
