Father Kelley Talks on the Yankee Volunteers at First Congregational
Father Francis C. Kelley of Detroit lectured on the Yankee Volunteers to a large First Congregational church audience. He, a former chaplain with the 32d Michigan Volunteer Infantry in the Spanish American War, praised volunteer history from ancient times to the Revolution and beyond. He cited critics’ views but defended volunteers as inventive and capable, delivering vivid word pictures of bivouacs and battle dawns. Meanwhile the church Bible school social drew about 140 teachers and pupils, with music, shadow pictures, dumbbell demos, and ice cream as entertainment wrapped in a lively community event.
