Address ... Upon the ... Inauguration of a Monument Erected by "This Immediate Neighborhood" (Tivoli-Wadalin) to her Defenders who Lost Their Lives in

By John Watts De Peyster

Book Overview

This address commemorates the inauguration of a monument erected in the Tivoli-Wadalin neighborhood to honor the defenders who lost their lives suppressing the slaveholders' rebellion. Delivered by J. Watts De Peyster (1821-1907), the text provides insight into the local sentiments and perspectives during the Reconstruction era following the American Civil War. It reflects on the sacrifices made by the community's sons and the significance of the newly erected monument as a symbol of remembrance and national unity.

The address offers a valuable historical record of a specific community's response to the war and its aftermath. It will appeal to historians, researchers, and anyone interested in the social and cultural impact of the Civil War on local communities.
