Description: INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:? The shipping rates shown are for '1st Class International Package' with tracking.? Ebay is also promoting their EIS International Shipping program on sellers pages. I do not use this program because it is more expensive, slower, not very transparent, and frustrating to the buyer, if something goes wrong. Do not select it, if ebay does show it as an option. Thank you. Portrait of: Oliver Hazard Palmer, born on 5 October 1812 in Walworth, Wayne, New York. At length ill health compelled Colonel Palmer to ask to be relieved from his command. He took leave of his regiment on March 6th , 1863, near Falmouth . What could be more touching and ten der, more inspired by earnest patriotism than the closing words of his farewell address, which we cannot refrain from quoting : “ Soldiers, I shall watch you with intense interest; I shall feel your sufferings and your hardships; I shall rejoice in your fame and Your glory will cheer me wherever I am, but your shame would crush my heart. Remember I own an interest in those once bright and beautiful, now seared and battered , but still more beau tiful banners, which I value above all price . They bear record of your valor , the three -score -and - ten stars made in them by rebel bullets at the battle of Antietam form a constellation worthy almost of adoration . Stand by them. And when you return again to your peaceful home, bring them with you that I may again see them, and unite with you in the appropriate action for their lasting pres ervation . Farewell.
