Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Souvenir of the Unveiling, Dedication and Presentation of the Abraham Lincoln G. A R. Memorial Monument: Dedicated to the Veterans of the Civil War, 1861-1865, at Long Beach, California, July 3rd, 1915
For nearly ten years after the foundation had been laid in Pacific park, various fruitless efforts had been made to erect a monument in honor of the Veterans of the civil war. Finally there came among us those possessed with the rare quality of invincibleness that overcame every obstacle and who builded better than they had planned, and not only glorified all Southern California, in a memorial to Abraham Lincoln, dedicated to the Veterans of the civil war, but made for themselves a name of priceless value.
