Excerpt from Inauguration of the Jackson Statue: Introductory Address of Governor Kemper, and Oration
The oldest of the states has called together this great con course of her sons and her daughters, with honored representatives of both the late cont-endin g sections of our common country. On this day, abounding with stern memories of the past and great auguries of the future, I come to greet you; and, in the name and by authority of Virginia, I bid you all and each welcome, a heart-warm welcome, to her capital.
With a mother's tears and love, with. Ceremonies to be chronicled in her archives and transmitted to the latest posterity, the commonwealth this day emblazons the virtues, and consecrates in enduring bronze the image, of her mighty dead. Not for herself alone, but for the sister states whose sons he led in war, Virginia accepts, and she will proudly preserve, the sacred trust now consigned to her perpetual custody. Not for the southern people only, but for every citizen of whatever section of the American republic, this tribute to illustrious virtue and genius is transmitted to the coming ages, to be cherished as it will be with national pride as one of the noblest memorials of a common heritage of glory. Nay, in every country and for all mankind, Stonewall Jackson's career of unconscious heroism will go down as an inspiration, teach~ ing the power of courage and conscience and faith directed to the glory of God.
As this tribute has sprung from the admiration and sympathy of kindred hearts in another continent; as the eyes of Christendom have been turned to behold the achievements of the man; so will the heroic life here enshrined radiate back, to the remotest bounds of the world, the lessons its example has taught.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is drawn from a speech given at the 1875 inauguration of a statue honoring General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, the famed Confederate general. The author, Moses D. Hoge, delivers a moving address that highlights the significance of Jackson's military genius, personal piety, and unwavering dedication to duty. The book places Jackson's life and career within the broader context of the American Civil War, exploring the complex motivations and principles that drove both the Confederate and Union sides. Hoge argues that Jackson's strength came from his ability to combine military prowess with a deep sense of Christian faith, which inspired both fear and admiration in his opponents. Through a series of powerful anecdotes and historical insights, the author illuminates the moral and ethical questions raised by the war, emphasizing the importance of honor, sacrifice, and reconciliation. Hoge concludes by asserting that Jackson's legacy serves as a reminder of the enduring power of these values, even in the face of conflict and division.
