The Rostrum in National
Cemetery, Gettysburg, Pa.
This
ivy-clad pergola erected on a knoll within and near the south end of the
National Cemetery is popularly and appropriately known as "The Rostrum"
for, standing between the two centre columns many of America's most gifted
and famous sons have addressed the thousands who annually assemble to engage
in the ceremonies of Memorial Day. From that platform have sounded in words
of wisdom and patriotism, the voices of President Hayes, Cleveland, and
Roosevelt; of members of Cabinet Blaine, Devens; of United States
Senators Hawley, Burrows, Dolliver, and Ingalls; of Generals Woodford,
Butler, Sickles, and McCandless |
