At the conllus.on of his great lecture he held a brief reception, at which scores of the G. A. R. pressed forward to clasp his hand m token of our reunited country. No lecture of recent years^has betn^o weU received in Albion as that of General Gordon.”- 7^ Record. Albion, Mich , Nov ? 7 , "As General John B. Gordon aptly stated last night, his lecture described incidents of the war that are not found in books or records. But in eloquent periods he presented true pictures of The heroism, the privation and the magnanimity of the camp and battlefield P l St ° ry ° f lhe War ’ in wh , ich the heroes of *>oth sides were fittingly eulogized, and if the praise of Lee were more generous than that of Grant, it must be remembered that the or*gru* gingly givenl fOUght °“ the Same 8,de w,th Lee ‘ an <> his of Grant was not sparingly “In thus instructing the public in the lessons of the war, General Gordon is performing a patriotic service. He is keeping green the memories of the war and its heroes on bmh sides, but he is obliterating the asperities of the strife. 1 '■ - . ’ of h ;eneral or special law shall ever be for the benefit of any foreign perating a railroad under this State or un der any aMH^nfoase. and no grant of any ri| tion from __ any such foH^y upon the conditlSi stockholders thereol ize a corporation in the laws thereof, and and no exemp shall be made to foration, except h e owners or first organ- State under shall thereafter ^ Such discourses feed the spirit of patriotism and promote the interests of humanity.”— 7/ie Aans.ts City Times. April 6, 1895. H “There have been, perhaps, larger crowds assembled beneath a single roof than that which assembled in Convention Hall last night, once or twice in the history of Madison Garden probably and again at political national conventions humanity has massed itself in greater numerical strength, but never before were over 6,000 people seated upon a single level, making a solid acre arm a nnlf rtf nfflric atm farrsc Art/1 it i„ throng to distinguish such citizens in every direction. The occasion was worthy of the multitude which came to enjoy it. A soldier above reproach; a statesman without a blemish - an orator whose peers are few. was to tell them the story of a time whose sma’lest incident is the’most inter esting theme a patriotic American can consider.’’—The Washington fast. “ General John B. Gordon arrived in the city yesterday afternoon, and was received with mili tary honors. Hundreds were present to do honor to the great Georgian. In the evening the large auditorium of Turners’ Hall was filled from doors to stage with an audience fully represen tative of the city’s best thought and highest achievement, gathered to hear General Gordon’s great lecture on The Last Days of the Confederacy.’ The speaker was applauded at short inter vals throughout his entire address, many of his points stirring the audience to most enthusiastic demonstrations lasting several minutes.”—Houston (Texas) Daily Post. Oct. 24, 1894 “ Seldom is it vouchsafed to people in this day to behold so glorious and so inspiring an event as was the magnificent spectacle witnessed by a large audience last evening at the Lyceum Theater. The lecture will, if we mistake not, abide as a lasting benediction. To one who was not present it would bo hard to convey any idea of the splendor of the scene, the beneficence of the occasion. There was something so much deeper in the man than even in what he uttered that his very presence lent a solemn and sacred grandeur to the occasion. At the close, as well as at repeated intervals throughout the lecture, the applause was long and loud, and the platform was covered with men and women who had rushed up to shake the General’s hand.”—'/Ac Sunday Times. Minneapolis. Minn., Nov. 25, 1894. " Heroic bravery of Union soldiers, the undaunted courage of Southern men, the self-sacrifice of noble Southern women, the patriotism of Northern womanhood, interspersed with lively anec dotes and abundant incidents illustrating the grim humor of the camp and the deep pathos and the suffering on the field and the home as phases of the great civil war, were component factors of General John B. Gordon’s story of ‘ The Last Days of the Confederacy ’ told to a large audience in Grand Music Hall last evening He told the story in words as eloquent as the burning stars The speaker was fair and unprejudiced in his judgment of men and events. Every sentence of his lecture was wreathed in an olive branch of peace. His every thought was sweetly tempered with magnanimity. Coupled with every eloquent tribute to the men who wore the gray was a magnanimous tribute to the men who wore the blue.’’— The Republic, St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 13, 1894. “ General Gordon’s great lecture ought to be heard by every voung American. It is a master piece. Not only as a gem of oratory, but as a superb outburst o(patriotism, it will livelong after we have passed away. The vast audience that heard him last night will, we are sure, voice this expression.” [Editorial.]—Courier-Journal. Louisville, Ky., Nov. 14, 1894. “ The Baptist Church was filled last night with a representative Danbury audience which gathered to hear General John B. Gordon lecture on the interesting topic, ‘ The Last Days of the Confederacy.’ The lec turer was introduced to the audience by Mayor Andrews, in a neat little speech, and was greeted by a storm of applause which abated very little during the evening. Besides being a man of imposing stature and true Southern caliber. General Gordon is a speaker of mag netic eloquence, and the audience had not only the satisfaction of hearing and seeing a real, live Confederate general, but also of listening to one of the best lectures that has ever been delivered in this city. His style has a brilliancy and dash that might be expected of a soldier like General Gordon. Everyone present declared that they have never heard a more interesting and thrilling speaker. General Gordon got a good t^ste of Danbury's hospitality: besides being escorted to the church by the G. A. R . headed by a drum corps, he was tendered an informal reception at the nme of N. Burton Rogers after the lecture.’'— Danbury Dispatch. Danbury, Conn .
