About this title

Synopsis

This book describes the organizing, fundraising, construction, and dedication of a statue memorial in honor of John A. Andrew, the 29th Governor of Massachusetts, who served during the Civil War. The monument, conceived by a group of army veterans, was initially intended to be a simple memorial but expanded into an artistic representation of Andrew. The book includes speeches from the dedication ceremony where military and political dignitaries of the time emphasized Andrew's commitment to the Union, not only in words but in his valiant actions to send Massachusetts troops to fight in the war. Others highlighted his dedication to education and his service to the community, including his service as director of the Bethel for seamen. The monument and this book stand as a testament to Andrew's unwavering service to the country and community and his commitment to the welfare and prosperity of the people.
