The Bunker Hill Monument Adams and Jefferson is a historical book written by Daniel Webster. The book describes the construction of the Bunker Hill Monument, which was built to honor the soldiers who fought in the Battle of Bunker Hill during the American Revolution. It also focuses on the lives of two prominent founding fathers, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, who both played significant roles in the creation of the United States. The book provides a detailed account of their political careers, their personal lives, and their friendship, which was strained by political differences but ultimately reconciled through a series of letters exchanged in their later years. The Bunker Hill Monument Adams and Jefferson is a fascinating read for anyone interested in American history, politics, and the lives of two of the country's most influential figures.1893. Contains two orations by Webster. The first commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill. Webster paints a vivid verbal picture of the Battle. He extolls the virtues of representative government, stating America's role as an example to the world and reminds the audience of the responsibility that is being handed down to them by the remaining few of the Revolution. Secondly, Webster speaks at the momentous occasion of the funeral of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, both of whom died on the 50th anniversary of the Union. Webster praises Jefferson and the Declaration. He then offers an analysis of Adams, including a representation of words that Adams might have spoken at the Congress of the Revolution. These words were, indeed, so stirring that one might believe Adams himself had spoken them. The volume also includes a biographical sketch of Webster and brief notes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
