Back Description
William Washington Side Top
One hundred years ago The men of the North and the South fought together, and by their blood secured the Independence, and cemented the Union of the American States.
The Bond that then bound them together is the Bond of their fellow-countrymen to-day.
The common country they created is the heritage of all their sons.
The perpetuation of the Republic of their Fathers is the safety and honor of North and South.
Alike the sentiment and duty of all the States.
Esto perpetua.
