Speech for old Confederate veterans by ex Governor Bob Taylor
The Atlanta Journal republishes ex Governor Bob Taylor’s July 25 Confederate Veterans reunion speech at Brownville Pennsylvania. It lauds the South’s past battles and future-industrial resurgence, praising Lee Jackson and the new South built on coal, iron, mills, and mills, while noting old soldiers’ sacrifice and the region’s prospects. The piece also notes prison corset bans in North Carolina and dubious age claims of Martin Head and Noah Ruby.
