On the left-hand page are advertisements for attractions and motels on Cape Cod. The right-hand page is divided into two advertisements, transcribed below: Top: We really started something. It all started here. In Lexington and Concord. So what better place to begin the Bicentennial than Massachusetts? There's more historic meaning in every mile here. More revolutionary things to see and do. So start your vacation where the country started. Now more than ever, make it Massachusetts. For a free vacation kit, write Massachusetts, Dept. of Commerce & Development, Dept. 738 Box 1775, Boston, Mass. 02105. Bottom: Come see the town you've heard about all your life. Many small towns grace the pages of American history, but this is where it all began...where valiant Minutemen fired the shot heard 'round the world. The Rude Bridge. Paul Revere, Longellow, Hawthorne, Emerson, Thoreau. We're surrounded by history. So if you want to relive the sights and sounds of the American Revolution during our nation's Bicentennial, it's right on our doorstep. Plan to visit Concord soon, and make the Colonial Inn your GHQ. We're a Great American Inn and we'd like everyone in America to stay here.

Title A name given to the resource Soldiers' Monument Dedication (1867) Description An account of the resource The order of exercises for the dedication of the Soldiers' Monument in 1867. Transcription: Order of Exercises at the Dedication of the Soldiers' Monument, Concord, Mass., April 19, 1867, Prayer, by Rev. G. Reynolds. Ode, by George B. Bartlett. Air, — Auld Lang Syne Beneath the shadows of the elm, where ninety years ago Old Concord's rustic heroes met to face a foreign foe, We come to consecrate this Stone to heroes of to-day, Who perished in a holy cause as gallantly as they. The patriot preacher's bugle-call, that April morning knew, Still lingers in the silver tones of him who speaks to you; As on their former muster-ground called by its notes again, Those ancient heroes seem to greet brave Prescott and his men. And as each soldier-saint appears to answer his name, Not one has dimmed the lustre of its old, unconquered fame; They, too, have left their peaceful homes for scenes of bloody strife, And death has turned to hallowed ground the fields they tilled in life. The Bronze and Stone we proudly rear must surely pass away, But deathless lives of fallen braves can never know decay; For, freed from stain of slavery, our re-united land— The soldiers' truest monument—shall ever firmly stand. Report of the Chairman of the Monument Committee, Hon. E. R. Hoar. Address, by R. W. Emerson. Music by the Band Poem, by F. B. Sanborn. Speeches. Music.

Grindell Reynolds. [The audience is invited to join with the Choral Club in singing, to the tune of Old Hundred, page 43, Mr. Emerson's Hymn, written for the dedication of the Monument at the Battle Ground July 4th, 1837.] By the rude bridge that arched the flood, Their flag to April's breeze unfurled; Here once the embattled farmers stood, And fired the shot heard round the world. The foe long since in silence slept; Alike the conqueror silent sleeps; And Time the ruined bridge has swept Down the dark stream that seaward creeps. On this green bank, by this soft stream, We place with joy a votive stone, That memory may their deed redeem, When, like our sires, our sons are gone. O Thou who made those heroes dare To die, or leave their children free— Bid Time and Nature gently spare The shaft we raise to them and Thee. Addresses. Hon. Ebenezer Rockwood Hoar. His Excellency Frederic T. Greenhalge, Governor. America (page 290) - By the audience. My country! 'tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty, Of thee I sing; Land where my fathers died! Land of the Pilgrims' pride! From every mountain side Let freedom ring! Our fathers' God, to thee, Author of liberty, To thee we sing: Long may our land be bright With freedom's holy light; Protect us by thy might. Great God, our King! Reception by the Governor.
