Tribute to Memory of Gen. Gordon
Paid by Comrade In Arms at
Unveiling of Equestrian
Statue at State Capitol
"There ere rare features which make
this a memorable, distinguished and an
educative event. The people of Georgia
and of many states are here, united in
one patriotic sentiment. The state of
Georgia Is preeent officially In all de-
Dartments, showing the state govern
ment In Its complete civil powers;
military organizations of our country
and state, representing the martial
spirit of a free people: students of
schools and colleges are Interested par
ticipants; veterans of many battles are
vet In our presence, cherishing the
memories of their past chlvalrio lives
and receiving the loving homage of
Dosterity; last, and best of all, those
elements which give grace to the gran
deur of any patriotic pageant is the
presence of the gentle women, who
h-ve made the richest offerings to the
heroism and the heroes of the South.
"Over all these constituents of a free
and enlightened country behold un
furled the battle banner of the Con
federate soldier, the flag of Georgia
with Its motto, ■wisdom. Justice and
moderation,’ and the star spangled
banner of our Revolutionary fathers
end of our united country.
State Not Without Soul.
■The state Is not a corporation with
out a souL It has a body of admin
istrative machinery, but Its soul is the
sovereign spirit of the people, and It
was this soul which directed the statue
ol General Gordon to be built. It was
the wisdom of the state that such an
agency was founded for the education
ol Its youth In the qualities of heroic
character; It Is the Justice of the state
to posterity which provides that the
peculiar nature of our government and
our civilization, produced by the agen
cies of past events and the examples
ol remarkable men, shall not be over
thrown.
••A monument, as the word Itself Im
ports, admonishes the mind to consid
er the sentiments, the virtues and the
acts of the noble life It Is designed to
represent. Such monuments must
have been formed first In the minds
of the people who build them, and they
will illustrate the noble character of
the builders as welt as the virtues of
the men whom they honor. This splen
did equestrian statue upon which this
assemblage will soon look, was first
wrought upon the mental tablet of the
Confederate soldiers. It was also form
ed upon the mind of the state by the
thought of the people. The Idea broad
ened over all the South, and I shall not
hesitate to add that the sentiment
spread over all the Union, that Gor
don’s Illustrative life deserves not only
a distinguishing monument In bronze,
but even a greater memorial than any
material structure can express. This
universal conception was veiled dur
ing his life, but now the drapery will
be dropped from a finished work of art
which wilt stand forever In public view
to speak with the tongue of eloquence,
truth and authority. Georgia never
paid tribute more worthy than this
monument will give to the fame of
Gordon as citizen, soldier, Statesman
and patriot.
"I And my feet, therefore, established
firmly here on steady ground; my
form, my heart, my head are all In a
clarified atmosphere which Is charged
with the kindest sympathies of this au
gust assemblage, while I begin to
speak. I know full well that the
'thoughts that breathe and words that
burn’ befit this occasion—thoughts that
breathe the life of vigorous patriotism
Into the mould, the manner, the form,
the substance and activities of my
countrymen; words that burn to ashes
all the enmities of war and consume
the partisan pandora box Itself with
all Its contents of sectional Ills; words
and thoughts that kindle the pure fires
of true patriotism In the hearts of all
American people so that our country
in Its constitutional form. In Its domes
tic and foreign policies, and In the
united purpose of Its people shall, of
Itself, become the best monument that
can be built and dedicated to ’liberty
and enlightening the world.’
Gordon, the Brave.
"Gordon entered with all the ardor
of his natural temperament Into the
Confederate war as the captain of a
company from Alabama and Georgia,
Which Joined tho Sixth Alabama regi
ment of Infantry. The regiment was
quickly hurried into n Virginia cam
paign of desperate fighting, and now,
haring Gordon for Its colonel, gained
the credit of kindling the first flame of
his fame and fanning it by their cour
age Into a brightness which attracted
the admiration of the army. I will se
lect only a few of the great battles In
which the soldierly qualifications of
Gordon were Illustrated, and Introduce
him to you when he was In the midst of
the fierce battle of Seven Pines In 1862,
commanding the Sixth Alabama regt
tnent In Rhodes' brigade.
"In this early fight he appears at
once in his true character as an In
trepid Confederate officer, possessing
•he qualities of daring courage which
commanders must have In order to
match the valor of their men. His
regiment became separated from the
brigade a while, as my regiment and
the Thirty-eighth Georgia were sepa
rated from their brigade In the battle of
?«lnes’ Mill, a few weeks later, and
•ought together. In both these In-
•tsnees all these regiments distinguish
ed themselves by an Independent, ac
tion. which Illustrates the general 1 In
telligence and natural military quali
ties of the Southern volunteers. Gor
don In hts report of this battle says of
•he Sixth Alabama; ’In my Judgment,
history does not record one Instance of
greater courage and more steadfast
ness of nerve than wns exhibited by
this entire regiment.’ General Rhodes,
ln e brigade commander, mentioned the
regiment In his report with most com-
rilmentsry terms. After stating their
courageous fighting and appalling
losses, he says; ‘Among the living!
■hose bravery and coolness entitled
■hem to distinction, I mention Colonel
John B. Gordon. 1

bravest soldier might crave when dying
on the battle field.
The Battle of Sharptburg.
The successful battles of Lee and
Jackson expelled the Federal forces
from Virginia by opening the way of
the Confederate army Into Maryland
and led on to the battle of Sharpsburg.
September 17, 1862, where Gordon and
hie Alabama regiment fought at the
steady stand up as well as In the dar
ing charge. Throughout this day of
dreadful carnnge the scales of battle
fell and rose and often balanced evenly.
Confederate defense against the onset
of the Union army was dauntless, and
th« onsetc of the Confederates were as
daring as any ever made. Sometimes
they were repelled; sometimes they
drove the foe. hut In all Its features
there was never a fight fiercer than this
In which the Confederate and Union
armies displayed their daring courage.
Imagine the Sixth Alabama In the line
of Rhodes' brigade receiving a bayonet
charge and repelling It.
Gordon Badly Woundad.
Observe the regiment. Instructed by
Its colonel to cling to the ground with
gun to shoulder and await the coming
enemy until the word—fire—shall ring
from his lips along the lines. Then
seo and hear the deadly, well-aimed
volleys, the' falling enemy, the repeated
charge, met with repeated volleys, until
the baffied, bi%ve foes fall back across
ths field. After that, witness a battle
duel between lines of equal bravery,
where the terrific carnage continues
until Just before the sun sinks down.
It was near this hour when the last of
ths five mlnle-balls, which had wound-
ed Gordon on this bloody day, sprang
from some rifle toward his conspicuous
battle figure, and went singing Us
shrill, mysterious note through the air
until, reaching him, crashed through
his face, felled him on the field of
strife, and passed on, leaving him to
bleed unconscious on Maryland soli.
After months of healing, a dimpled
dent remained where the mlnle-ball had
gashed the handsome face ef the brave
warrior, and this, the fifth wound of
that one day, made a scar that graced
his cheek through all his life.
Returned to Desperate War,
After seven months disability,
caused by the Sharpsburg wounds,
Gordon was assigned, with the commis
sion of brigadier general, to the Strong
brigade, which had been commanded
by General Lawton, who was also
wounded at Sharpsburg.
“My own personal acquaintance with
General Gordon began on the first day
of his arrival, when his military bear
ing, hts evident martial spirit, his cor
dial manner, won me at once, and with
in a few days this acquaintance In
camp progressed Into a companionship
In battle, where the best friendships
are made.
“In the midst of these battles about
Fredericksburg and Chancellorsvllle in
the spring of 1868, the retaking of
Marye's Heights was assigned to Early,
and Early selected Gordon's brigade
to win the glory, and Gordon assigned
my regiment to take the right, and give
direction to the line of charge. The
dangerous movement began In line of
battle under Early's eye In open field,
with the steady step to which theso
veterans were accustomed. A serious
obstruction was encountered by the left
of the brigade and the usual move
ments were made In order to success
fully pass. Then came the charge with
quick-step, then double-quick, with the
heightening enthusiasm of the ‘Rebel
Yell.' It was my first ride In battle
with Gordon, and I felt an exhilaration
which I did not attempt to restrain.
The brave brigade ascended the hill
and swept the field Just as a staff offi
cer cams to General Gordon from Gen
eral Early with a suggestion of caution.
The old, experienced general had seen
the brigade half-way up the hill, ma
neuvering to pass the obstruction, mis-
took Its meaning, and, knowing the
hasards of the charge, sent the officer
dashing across the field to deliver the
message. _ . _ , ,
" 'My compliments to General Early,
replied Gordon, 'and tell hint the
heights have already been taken.

over the guns, and the tired soldiers
lay In silent groups on ths ground over
which they had so gallantly charged.
The Federal lines were not far away,
but I heard not one exulting cheer from
the Union braves. Wagons were roll
ing among the Confederate brigades
with rations from Grant's abundant
commissary stores. Officers and men
In blue were mingling with the men In
gray. Lee rode slowly toward head
quarters, Baying to hts soldiers:
" 'You have done all that, brave men
could do. Go home, my sons, and make
as good cltlsens as you have soldiers.'
"Gordon, on horseback, In the open
field, made a thrilling nddress to a
great body of soldiers, his clear voice
ringing like a trumpet, while he ut
tered hts praises of the Confederate
armies; hts unshaken faith In Con
federate motives, but counseling peace
and good cltlsenshlp as being now the
highest duty. The Confederacy was
breathing out Its life. Its last drops of
blood were dripping from Its veins. Its
spirit drifted away, leaving a rich In
heritance of virtues for the use of the
whole country. Its catafalque was the
broad bosom of Its defenders. On Its
gray casket was spread the beautiful
flag Which 1U heroes had borne through
four yeara of war and Its body was
burled t6 rise no more, but no man
knows iV. PH co of Its grave.
Gordon’s Military Genius.
"Gordon's superior military talents
were brilliantly disclosed In many other
battles other than those mentioned,
and they were efficient In all his posi
tions from captain to lieutenant gen
eral. His steadily ascending fame grew
In splendor and become brightest when
It stood over the field of Appomattox,
when the Confederacy died. From first
to last he had defended Its life. He had
done all that he could do In battle, and
we will greet him next In his Georgia
home preparing to serve his land
among ths foremost In peace, as he had
been among the chlefest In war.
High Civio Virtues.

thin mysterious veil now Intervenes
which Divine Providence let down from
that heaven which Is higher than ths

you and we may pass to him.
"Women of the South; Your pres
ence graces this occasion and glad
dens these Confederate soldiers. Their
eyes are uplifted to adore you above
and apart from all those who have hon
ored their dead or cared for their liv
ing comrades. Their old hearts be
come young again when you smllo upon
them and throb with gratitude for the
tireless tenderness of your loving kind
ness and your faithful watch-care over
their honor and the memorable history
of their courage.
"My Countrymen: Your presence
has distinguished this honor from other
daye when you have assembled to
celebrate ths victories you have won
In peace, or tho yet greater which you
are planning to achieve. Behold these,
your Confederate soldiers! Gee their
wrinkled faces flushing with pride,
caused by the presence of admiring
posterity! Gaxe on the gray hairs ol
these veterans who gave their man
hood’s early prime In willing service to
save your country's highest Ideals'. Re
ceive their gratitude with their bene
dictions, and cherish their memories
among the choicest Jewels of your
country.
"My Comrades; Your presence rep-
resents the valiant armies of the Con
federacy whose half-million men In
arms held the field four years against
tow and a half millions, and yielded at
last because the disparity of power be
came too great to be overcome. Your
comrades are moving forward and up
ward out of view, but you do not ,‘tread
alone a banquet hall deserted, whose
lights are fled, Its garlands dead, and
all but you departed,' for we can Imag
ine that the great old armies of your
Southerners are around us and nt pa
rade rest on the field of the brightest
skies, where the lights never grow dim

GENERAL CLEMENT A. EVANS.
Veteran soldier, preacher, state official and author, who followed Gordon through many campaigns,. He
Is one of the seven surviving generalls of the 52 given by Georgia to the lost cause.
•The brigade learned at once that
enthusiasm in the midst of raging bat
tle was characteristic of Gordon, and
In him it was often truly grand. En
thusiasm is an Invaluable munition of
war. It often doubles the strength of
a regiment, and without It no officer
can successfully command. It was a
battlefield characteristic of the young
Southern soldiers, producing their clar
ion whoop, their startling rebel yell,
their disposition to charge and light
outside of the breastworks, and their
many victories over superior numbers.
y The Battle of Gettysburg.
Orders came to hasten to Gettys
burg, where the magnificent but un
expected battle of three days occurred.
On arriving during the morning of the
first day of July, at a critical moment
when a division of Confederates were
struggling to hold the ground ogalnst
the Union divisions, the tired brigade
was hurried by Gordon promptly Into
the battle and Joined their comrades In
a charge which broke the Union lines
Into confusion, subjecting them to de
structive fire as they retreated through
Gettysburg and beyond Its hills, where
Meade rallied them to a stand with
the news of reinforcements near at
hB *Gordon's military promptitude was
never more needed nor more conspic
uously displayed than In making this
charge. He knew that opportunity In
battle permits of no delay In action.
Gordon rode superbly that day around,
among and ever near the herolc men
In the advancing line, and his bear
Ins; was every Inch the incarnate spirit
of chivalry. But after the moment of
assured victory his heart turned him
to the wounded lying on the field w here
the victory had been so gloriously won.
and finding them with the faithful
surgeons on the bloody ground he
cheered them with his presence. Ills
heart turned him also to his foes, and
he found them with their brave Union
general lying among his own dead, dy
ing and wounded.
I will not describe the magnificent
memory, but I will Insist, for reasons
given, that history should not class
It as being more than a technical Con
federate defeat. Upon one lone ground
that Lee withdrew across the Potomac,
I submit this brief:
Only Technical Defeat
"On the first day the Union army
fled and gave up their city, to be oc
cupied by the Confederates. During
two days more the Confederates
charged the Union breastworks re'
peatedly with success at many points,
and without one counter charge by
Meade's main line. On the fourth day
the Confederates waited in line of bat
tle, Inviting attack, and It was declined.
On the following day Ooncral Lee with
drew his army slowly in eaay reach of
Meade, and when across the Potomac
he withdrew his army. It was attacked,
but victory was won by the Confed
erates. The Fourth of July, after the
battle of three days, was kept without
either a battle or a barbecuo. Lee
kept the sacred day, hoping that Meade
would charge, and Meade kept It. hop
ing the Confederates would go peace
ably away and let Washington enjoy
domestic tranquillity.
"Gordon's enterprising activity, not
only In battle but In all campaigns, Is
a notable feature of his military ca
reer. He kept himself informed by
various means concerning the army
with which he served and the where
abouts of the enemy. This ho did, not
merely by the aid of scouts, but by
personal search. Twice, on his invi
tation, we went together alone, with
uniform and sword, within the lines of
the enemy In our Immediate front, to
find a place where successful attack
might be made. We stood together
often with field glasses to observe the
position of the foe In order to profit
by personal view. This aggressive trait
of his martial spirit was also conspic
uously apparent In the series of the
battles or tho Wilderness, when ho
In command of the division. Always
searching for opportunities, he made
one gap In Grant's line, and on the
next day found another Into which he
went with my brigade of Georgians and
Johnston's South Carolina brigade, and
by charging the flank broke up a corps.
“The Twelfth of May.”
"I will speak next of the 'Man of the
Twelfth of May.’ The famous Inde
scribable battle of the 12th of May.
which equipoised the fate of Lee’s army
with tho destiny of the Confederacy,
lasted during a day of hard, close-
together fighting between two armies
of equally brave men. It appears yet
as beyond question that the success
of the plan of General Orant to cut
through the army of Lee would have
resulted In a Confederate disaster and
probably terminated the war. Grant
heavily massed his divisions and
pushed them with IrrisUble force
against the most assailable point In all
the lines of Lee at an exposed angle
where, by accident, artillery changes
had been made which left the salient
point nearly devoid of guns. Gordon
at the time commanded a division of
Virginians and North Carolinians, with
my brigade of Georgians, which were
in position a* reserves close to the
Confederate breastworks, tin the night
of the 11th, my brigade slept In line
of battle ready for Instant action.
A Magnificent Spectacle,
•The waking came at the earliest
dawn When the morning mist* veiled
the faint light of the breaking day. The
Confederates along the defensive lines
were startled to their feet by the
strident rush of thousands of men upon
with the brave defenders. It was at
that moment the Virginia, the North
Carolina and Georgia brigades of Gor
don's general command, were In line of
battle ready, expectant, nnd eager to
make the charge, when Lee rode
through my brigade, having a sublime
expression on his face, and In his mien
which flashed the thrilling truth upon
all the line of Confederate men that it
was the heroic purpose of his great
soul, for the third time In one week, to
lend the charge of his Confederate
comrades to victory or to death.
"Gordon read the purpose of Lee at
a glanco. In a moment he knew what
should be Done. 'With his characteris
tic intuitive dtscerment of the right
action in that supreme crisis he rode to
the side of the great commander, and
In manner, voice, and by actual com
mand, remonstrated ngalnst the sacri
fice and spoke those historical words,
which were repeated and rolled up nnd
down the lines of the army—'General
Lee, you must go to the rear!' Men
and officers were filled with the spirit
of Lee, Inspired by the enthusiasm of
Gordon, nnd In a moment they moved,
by hts order, at double-quick, into the
swirling vortex of battle.
Lee Trusted Gordon.
"Gordon had already won the ad
miration and the confidence ot Robert
Lee. Our great Confederate commander-
In-chlef knew the true military mettle
whenever he saw it shine or heard It
ring. Ho was Impressed by Gordon's
aggressiveness, his enterprising spirit,
his Judgment In planning a fight, his
general promptitude, his quickness In
taking advantage of a turn in the tide
of battle, and his daring courage In
executing a command. I omit scores
of battles In which Gordon displayed
tho great qualifications that make a
military leader, and give the sum of
the whole matter by saying that he
had the entire confidence and personal
admiration of Robert E. Lee.
An Unforgetable Scene.
"The scenes of the Confederate
camps when I passed them after the
surrender was singular Indeed. Arms
were stacked; the battle flags drooped
faithfulness with which Gordon carried
out these high resolves during his en
tire life. They were the burdens of his
earliest addresses to the people and to
the returned soldiers who were earnest
ly, peacefully and thriftily at work
everywhere. He was active among the
able men of the South who were united
In overthrowing the reconstruction pol
icies and In restoring a true self-gov
ernment to the states. His help to
South Carolina and other Southern
states which were struggling to be re
lleved made him celebrated. He had
the heart and hand ot the South and
his Confederate comrades because of
his unfailing fidelity to their cause, and
he won the good will of the North by
his broad and true patriotism. He was
made commander-In-chlef of the Unit,
ed Confederate Veterans by the univer
sal and enthusiastic acclamation of all
the Confederate soldiers from year to
year as long as he lived. HI* state
made him governor two terms ond
twice senator, in whlob stations ho
served with n statesman's ability and
fidelity.
Honored In Bronze and Msrbls.
"The last of this feast Is the best of
Its wine. The unveiling of yonder
monument will bring a great soldier
vividly Into our mind and memory.
From sunrise to sunset the unobstruct
ed sunbeams falling on these cnpltol
grounds will light up this battle-
scarred taco and array with radiance

to speak: by this statue to the world
with an eloquence that no man ehould

him as It shall arrive nt the head of
the consocutlve centuries which follow
the ever retiring days of the present
All people who pass In review before
the monument will be told the same
glorious old truth which all ages have
revered, that true manhood will always
act the noble part whenever the moral
convictions command.
Mrs. Gordon: Your presence suf
fuses this ceremony with an Indescrib
able pathos. Your Confederate broth
ers know how closely you followed your
tlluatrous husband through hts career,
and their sympathies were deeply
scant fare of the bivouac, the march,
the battle Is ended, but the patriot
soldier now banquets richly on the af
fections and honors given him ‘In the
house of his fathers.' The memory of
your knightly service grows brighter
and the garlands are richer and fresh
er now than ever. God bless you, my
comrades, there can be no praises too
exalted to be lavished on the herola
history you made In the Confederate
army.
"Governor of Georgia: Your pres
ence is personal and official; personal
because of the esteem In which you
hold the Confederate soldier, and offi
cial because you represent the state of
Georgia. You have held this high dis
tinction more than four years, but 1
will be bold to say that no honors paid
you by the people can be greater than
this you now have to receive this mon-
msnt Into the everlasting custody of
ths stats. The moment Is new at lmn<l
when the daughters of General Gor
don, attended by yourself, shall release
the statue from Its veilings so that it
may stand In the presence of all ths
people. Rise, my comrades sad coun
trymen, and with our national nlrs,
‘Dixie’ and the 'Star Spangled Ben
ner,' thrilling your hearts, behold end
salute your own Gordon—the soldier,
the statesman, and the patriot!"
