At the time of writing the letter conveying this information Dr. Coe was in New York city where he had just attended exercises incident to the opening of the Roosevelt House, a replica of the home where Theodore Roosevelt was born. “The exercises were a marvel of patriotism and enthusiasm,” declares Dr. Coe. “The building, of course, would not hold many people, but for two blocks the streets were crowded and the program was given to the crowd by four amplifiers which the electric light company had ‘made almost unapproachably perfect. When ‘The Battle Hymn of the Republic’ came upon the amplifiers, the entire crowd two blocks long, took it up, and those who saw this incident declare that it was an example and manifestation of patriotism not often exceeded.” BEING ADVERTISED Comments Share Share this article News Reporting News Reporting Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources.
