A LETTER TO Al. COURRIER
By A. D. Herndon
In eighteen sixty-one,
When the nation was rent with strife,
A host of heroic boys in blue
Went forth to save its life.
They came from field and shop.
They came from hill and plain.
They marched and fought, and stood on picket.
In sunshine, snow and rain.
With the official opening of the
Oregon Caves for the summei
tourist season, regular scheduled
tours me now offered through

nated place in
he said.
For four long years,
While the nation was rent asunder,
They carried that flag on sea and land
Amid the cannons thunder.
They carried that flag on many a field
Where Blue and Gray contended.
And many a hero gave his life,
As he that flag defended.
At last they met at Appomattox.
And its famous apple tree,
And North and South united,
And wrongs at last were righted,
And slaves at last were free.

Famous in song and story.
