Those who have given us this work to do look to see it per- formed with as much promptness and despatch as are con- sistent with due care and deliberation. To this task let us now address ourselves. And, bespeaking from each and every member that charity which inevitable shortcomings will need, and that forbearance which the absolute impos- sibility of meeting the wishes of all will demand, and desiring to emphasize by example, as well as precept, a diligent attention to business, the Chair, without further remark, awaits the pleasure of the House.

Stedman, Jr. Student, Soldier, Legend Suzanne Mittica AMST 802: Primary Research Materials April 29,2003 For the stainless, young and noble brave From the country for whom his life he gave, With a patriot-martyr’s pride.’ A sculpted figure of a Civil War soldier occupies a place of honor in many Connecticut towns. Most commonly, he appears as follows. The infantryman stands with one foot forward, the butt of the rifle (rifled musket) between his feet, hands grasping the muzzle, left over right, accoutrements and bayonet suspended from his waist belt, and the coat’s hood falling over the shoulders as a cape. He wears facial hair and the uniform hat which was known as the kepi when worn by an officer, sometimes as a “bummer” when worn by an enlisted man. The kepi was indeed generally worn; it is an authentic and realistic feature; slouch hats were popular in the Western theater. The soldier enerally is of stone, usually granite, but sometimes bronze. P There is something special about such an object, as it provides a tangible link to the past. Thousands of local townsmen who long ago formed the state’s volunteer regiments, who engaged the Rebel army in legendary battles like Antietam, Gettysburg, and Cold Harbor, who perished in Andersonville prison, and who returned but never forgot, are encapsulated into this communal form.
