Excerpt from Memorial Day (Decoration Day): Its Celebration, Spirit, and Significance as Related in Prose and Verse, With a Non-Sectional Anthology of the Civil War

IN harmony with the generous non-sectional spirit Characterizing Our Memorial Day celebration, no dis crimination has been shown in this collection between the literature of South and North. For our secular All Souls' Day knows neither North nor South, Blue nor Gray.

The sole discrimination shown has been in selecting from all sources the most beautiful poetry and the most eloquent prose in this first attempt to reveal, from vari ous viewpoints, the true spirit and significance of the festival and Of the events leading thereto.
