Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book immortalizes the fallen heroes of the Regular Army during the American Civil War by commemorating their service on a monument erected at West Point. The monument was dedicated in 1864, and a key part of the ceremony was an oration delivered by General George B. McClellan. The bulk of the book is this address, in which McClellan speaks of the special esprit de corps that comes from service in the Regulars and then provides biographical sketches of many who have died in the service of their country. He also speaks to the causes of the war, what this war means for the nation and what it means for the future of democratic government. The book provides not only an introduction to the events and men who gave their lives, but a broader context of the Civil War and the struggle over the continued existence of the United States of America as one nation.
