JUDGE ROGERS RENEWS
HIS OFFER OF PRIZE.
Veterans’ Historian Reminds The Weekly of His
Offer Formerly Made to Children of
Confederacy.
QUOTATION FOR STUDY IS AGAIN GIVEN.
t
This quotation is from a speech of a distinguished man, on the
occasion of an important event in Confederate history:
“The impartial and enlightened verdict of mankind will vindicate
the rectitude of our conduct, and He who knows the heart of men
will judge the sincerity with which we have labored to preserve
Government of our fathers in its spirit.”
Who said it, and when and where was it spoken? Relate some
of the circumstances of the occasion.
A small book of some value for study will be presented to each
one who may report with correct answer, which must be the result
of their own study and reading. I prefer to make it limited in this
way, to make it more certain that the children will study for the real
interest in the subject, and for the personal benefit it may give to
each one.
The above is from a letter of
Judge Robert L. Rodgers, His
torian of the Confederate Veter
ans, written to the Editor of The
Weekly under date of January 28,
1911, and published in The Weekly
of February 3, 1911.
The letter which we publish be
low explains itself.
Our chapter of the Children of
the Confederacy has never fully
completed its organization, but
was well on the way to doing so,
when our last fire caused them to
lose their meeting place.
It is hoped that they will now
take on new life and take up the
noble work of the order actively,
and that a number will proceed to
win the book offered by Judge
Rodgers for each successful an
swer to his question.
Judge Roberts’ last leUer is as
follows:
66 Bedford Place,
Atlanta, Ga., Apr. sth, 1911.
Mr. Frank Reagan,
McDonough, Ga.
My Dear Sir: What was ever
done with the matter of the quo
tation from speech of a distinguish
ed man, which I sent to you, and
you published in Weekly? I have
not heard from it any further. Did
the “U. D. C.” and “Children of
Confederacy” disregard it en
tirely? If the study of history as
proposed did not interest them,
or was not approved in that way,
perhaps we may suggest some
other form, or ask them to sug
gest a plan for the study.
In this season of Confederate
events, it seems propitious for
study of history. The month of
April. The Capture of Fort
Sumter, 12th, 1861, when “there
was fired the shot that was heard
round the world.” Fort Morgan
at Mobile was taken. Other events
came on in April. Cannot now re
call them all in succession.
In April, 1865, Surrenders of
Generals Lee and Johnston.
Memorial Day in April now.
Memory is active with April
events. Is it not a favorable
season now for the people to re
member the events of 1861 to
1865, in month of April?
What of the question I pro
pounded? If not available for
ready answer, shall I give the
answer, and then let us present
another query, that may be more
easily ascertained for answer?
Let me hear from you. I may
present another topic for May
study.
Very truly yours,
Robert L. Rodgers,
Historian Ga. Div., U. C V.
