To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We meet together to raise a monument to a great Union general, in the presence of many of the survivors of the Union Army; and the Secretary of War, the man at the head of the Army, who, by virtue of his office, occupies a special relation to the celebration, is himself a man who fought in the Confederate service. Few indeed have been the countries where such a conjunction would have been possible, 9 and blessed indeed are we that in our own beloved land it is not only possible, but seems so en...tirely natural as to excite no comment whatever. There is another point in General Sheridan's career which it is good for all of us to remember. Whereas Grant, Sherman, and Thomas were of the old native American stock, the parents of Sheridan, like the parents of Farragut, were born on the other side of the water. Any one of the five was just as much a 10 type of the real American, of what is best in America, as the other four. We should keep steadily before our minds the fact that Americanism is a question of prin- ciple, of purpose, of idealism, of character; that it is not a matter of birthplace, or creed, or line of descent.
