博客來This pamphlet contains the remarks of Wilmot G. De Saussure, President of the State Society of the Cincinnati of South Carolina, delivered on July 4th, 1884. As president, De Saussure offers the regular toast of the day at the anniversary meeting. The Society of the Cincinnati, founded in 1783, comprised officers of the Continental Army who served in the American Revolutionary War and their descendants. De Saussure’s remarks provide insights into the ongoing legacy and remembrance of the American Revolution more than a century after the war. This historical document offers a glimpse into the patriotic sentiments and social gatherings of the late 19th century, reflecting on the nation’s founding principles and the sacrifices made for independence.
