Excerpt from Three Rivers: The James, the Potomac, the Hudson; A Retrospect of Peace and War
You are doing, my friends, what your children could not do, for if you had gone to your grave cherishing the bitterness of conflict, their filial piety would have led them to cherish the same bitter and resentful feeling for generation after generation. You alone, you who fought, you who passed the weary days in the trenches, you who had the supreme exaltation of life at stake, you alone can render that supreme sacrifice to your country of a gentle and kindly spirit, receiving your former enemies to renewed friendship and binding together all parts of the country for which you both fought. - (From Speech of Senator Elihu Root, to Federal and Confederate Veterans at Utica, N.Y.)
