July 30, 1891 issue

add to cart   close window

It is now thirty years since the outbreak of the great civil war and no one who remembers those early days has ever doubted the genuineness of the patriotism that then blazed forth throughout the length and breadth of the land. According to the definition of patriotism now announced by Commissioner Green B. Raum in the current number of the North American Review, and apparently acquiesced in by a large majority of the Grand Army of the Republic, there is no distinction between the different classes. Commissioner Raum is of the opinion that hereafter the descendants of those who served in the civil war "will venerate their ancestors' names all the more because they were pensioned for their honorable services."
