Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Martin B. Anderson, LL. D: A Biography
They would have all possible means employed to keep his memory alive. From the nature of the case others come in and fill the place where one has wrought. Tradition grows shadowy, and even remembrance becomes faint some times, unless now arid then revived. And so these sons of the dead president would have some brief memorial by which they themselves may vivify the past and make more dis tinct the form of him who towered so regally above them. For the one of them who in some measure has been the means of securing this memoir, and who writes these words, the work has been a labor of love. And he dedicates it so far as he may to his brother alumni, knowing there is no one of them all who will not be glad thereof.
