Vols; (Late Colonel 56th Regiment Pennsylvania Veteran Volunteer Infantry): At the Dedication of the Regimental Memorial Erected Upon the Field of Gettysburg, by the Liberality of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, September 11th, 1889 Owing to her geographical position at the time of the adop tion of the Constitution of the United States - having six states upon her right, and six upon her left, Pennsylvania was accorded the honorary title of the Keystone State of the Federal Arch. And, although no longer, geographically, the centre Of the Arch, which for many years has spanned the Continent from ocean to ocean, yet when the Grand Arch was trembling, trembling under the measured tramp Of a mighty host organized and marshalled for its destruction; then the grand Old Commonwealth proved worthy of the mission implied by her title.
