THE DEDICATION


T HE dedication of our monument on the old battlefield of An- tietam brought to a close a labor that had extended over a period of seven years ;- a labor whose magnitude no one, at the outset, could foresee; or, if he could have foreseen, would never have had the hardihood to propose. There was the labor, the in- finite labor, of finding out where the old comrades were, who, since they broke ranks, for the last time, forty years before, had scattered over the face of the earth, or were buried beneath its surface. It was necessary to find the living, that their hearty co- operation might be secured; and necessary to find the dead, that their names might properly be recorded, and their memories appro- priately honored. There was the task of raising several thousand dollars, from what sources, or by what means, few had any adequate conception. There was the task of journeying to Herkimer to seek aid and comfort from the Board of Supervisors ; the task of journeying to Albany, to seek similar solace from a legislature, some of whose mem- bers had always to ask the question of political expediency, and what was to be gained by it. And when, at last, after years of delay, the means had been provided, there was the task of journeying to Antietam, to dicker for a site : the task of selecting a design from among many, that would fully satisfy the artistic sense, and fully embody the sacred memorial idea which we were seeking to express and perpetuate. And when the monument had been provided with its proper literature, which, in enduring bronze, should tell its story to all coming time; when the monument, itself, had been fully completed, and fully erected on the chosen site, there still remained the task of providing suitable dedi- catory exercises, and for the transportation of the comrades, in com- fort and security, over the long journey that was necessary from their far distant homes, to the ancient battle ground. And even when all this had been accomplished, the success of the whole enter- prise-the dedicatory part-was jeopardized by the announcement of two other excursions of civil war veterans to nearby destinations ; the reunion of the Society of the Army of the Potomac, at Gettysburg, two days after our dedication, and the Annual Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, at Washington, two weeks later. Still, always undaunted, the committee pressed forward, to final victory, and the com- pletion of its labors, to the absolute satisfaction of everybody interested. But in the laborious process, thousands of miles had been traveled ; thousands of dollars had been honestly raised, and every cent of the amount honestly spent ; thousands of letters had been written; thou- sands of worries had been lived through; thousands of hard words stifled before they were uttered, all for the sake of the pure and holy purpose that lay at the bottom of all our labors. But when, at last, the last thing had been done, and the last word had been said, and we stood
