Fourth of July Oration by Daniel Webster Found in Boston Junkshop
In a 1902 Boston junkshop at 252 Federal Street, the long lost original copy of Daniel Webster’s Fryeburg Fourth of July oration was found among private papers. The document ties to Fryeburg Webster Centennial as the oration underscores the Constitution’s grand memorial and moral duty.
