Quotes

• New England's dead. New England's dead!
  On every hill they lie;
  On every field of strife, made red
  By bloody victory.
  • New England's Dead, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).

• The land is holy where they fought
  And holy where they fell;
  For by their blood that land was bought,
  The land they loved so well.
