The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book:
Gen. William Smith, U.S. A. Battles on Land and Battlefields. Admiral J.E. Jouett, U.S. N.Naval Engagements. Gen. H.V. Boynton Addresses and Revolutionary Relics. PresidentE. M.Gallaudet Recruiting. Col. M.M. Parker Meetings. It is believed that the extension of this system will ultimately redound to the credit of the Society and insure the success of ends in view. The most notable local event during the year was a largely attended meeting of the Daughters of the American Revolution, Sons of the Revolution of the District of Columbia, and our own Society, on July 4, 1892, on the grounds adjacent to Washington Monument, where patriotic addresses suitable to the day and occasion were made. The efforts of the Society during the past year have been turned especially to plans of union with our sister patriotic society, the Sons of the Revolution. While the constant and unremitting efforts of our own Society and the Sons of the Revolution in the District have borne no fruit as regards national union, yet it has brought about a feeling of harmony and fraternity between the two local societies which it is believed will continue undisturbed. Under a formal resolution of our Board of Managers, and in accordance with a vote of the general Society, we have been co-operating with the Sons of the Revolution of the District of Columbia on all public occasions, and have lost no opportunity in cultivating good fellowship between us or of stimulating patriotic ideas in the community at large. As regards the union of the national societies, a meeting was held by our own Society at Annapolis, Maryland, in the capitol building, where Washington resigned his commission at the end of the Revolutionary War. The National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Sons of the Revolution of the District of Columbia and of Maryland, and the Sons of the American Revolution of Maryland also participated.
