'Address On Memorial Day [1898]' offers a glimpse into late 19th-century American commemorative practices. Delivered by Samuel Whitaker Pennypacker, likely a prominent figure of his time, before the Frederick Taylor Post No. 19 of the Grand Army of the Republic, Pennsylvania Dept., this address provides insights into the ways in which the Civil War was remembered and its veterans honored. It serves as a primary source document, valuable for understanding the cultural and historical context of Memorial Day celebrations in the post-Reconstruction era. The speech captures the sentiments, values, and historical interpretations prevalent among veterans and their communities, offering a unique perspective on the lasting impact of the Civil War on American society.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
