(From his oration at the Centennial Celebration of Concord Fight, Concord, Mass. , April 19, 1876. ) The Minute Man of the American Revolution! And who was he? He was the old, the middle-aged, and the young. He was the husband and father, who left his plow in the furrow and his hammer on the bench, and marched to die or to be free. He was the son and lover, the plain, shy youth of the singing school and the village choir, whose heart beat to arms for his country and who felt, though he could no...t say, with the old English cavalier: "I could not love thee, dear, so much, Loved I not honor more. " He was the man who was willing to pour out his life's blood for a principle. Intrenched in his own honesty, the king's gold could not buy him; enthroned in the love of his fellow citizens, the king's writ could not take him; and when, on the morning at Lexington, the king's troops marched to seize him, his sublime faith saw, beyond the clouds of the moment, the rising sun of the America we behold, and, careless of self, mindful only of his country, he exultingly exclaimed, "Oh, what a glorious morning!" And then, amid the flashing hills, the ringing woods, the flaming roads, he smote with terror the haughty British column, and sent it shrinking, bleeding, wavering, and reeling through the streets of the village, panic stricken and broken.
