Show When the command was given for the UnUed States to "Forward March!" it was in San Francisco that the march began. It was there that a new race assumed control; the bjend'ng of all that was good in all the states, made a distinct race there, and if it did spoil women and children, it was of itself the best ever. It g made possible a new order of manhood; it made the city that it built a hallowed spot, and it will continue to be such to those who watched its first growth, as long as they remain on this side and to those who anticipate a heaven of rest, in their deeper thoughts they picture it as something some-thing such as the early San Francisco was. |
