Souvenir of the Revolutionary Soldiers' Monument Dedication at Tarrytown
And what a roll of honor it is. Opposite how many names that there appear is written the fatal sentence "Slain on the field !" "Dead on the field of honor ! " What an immortal epitaph ! In what hallowed graves sleep such Patriot dead, " where no bugle sounds reveille." And how fit and becoming that a monument should be erected there, at the old Redoubt on the brow of Battle Hill, to their honor, while their memory yet remains. An ideal site for a memorial to be set up in honor of the Soldiers of the Revolution.
