Additional Description: This speech was orated at the laying of the Monument Cornerstone in Louisville 1895 “A people who can forget, or regard with indifference, it’s patriotic idea, is on the verge of national decadence and disgrace, from which no patriotic effort can save it, even if among a people any remnant of patriotic spirit can survive. There may come a time, but woe to the world if it shall come, when men will cease to feel this sentiment. When that time comes, all that makes life worth living, will have been banished from the earth.” Basil Duke. Furnished by the Sons of Confederate Veterans.
