Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nineteenth Annual Convention of the Atlantic Deeper Waterways Association Held at Richmond, Va., September 14, 15, 16, 17, 1926: Report of the Proceedings For the second time in its history, the Atlantic Deeper Waterways Associo ation, on September '14, 15, 16 and 17, 1926, laid friendly siege to Richmond, Virginia, Capital of the Confederacy. The result was an unconditional surrender on the part of the beleaguering host, to the charm and fascination which make this famous old Southern city irresistible to anyone with the capacity to appreciate true hospitality, or to feel the mellowing influences of sacred ground. When those two old veterans, the Rev. Dr. Henry A. F. Hoyt, of Phila delphia, and Augustine Royall, of Richmond, opponents in a civil conflict such as no other nation has ever survived, embraced on the platform of the convention, every man and woman in the audience realized that the bitter sweet memory of that colossal struggle has become one of the great heritages of the American people; no longer a subject to be shunned or tactfully glossed over, but a common bond between former enemies who fought well, and thereby attained a proper evaluation of their. Adversaries. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
