 From the shop and the farm and the forum. 
 From the cabin, the cot and the hall. 
 
 From the emigrants' camp in the forest. 
 They mustered at Liberty s call. 
 
 Cave, unstinting, their blood and their treasure 
 For manhood, and justice, and right. 
 
 Undismayed amid darkness and treason. 
 Fighting on into freedom and light. 
 
 Here's a tear to our grandsires' remembrance. 
 Here are thanks for their victory won. 
 
 Here's a hand to push on thro' the ages 
 The good rvorf( so grandly begun. 
 
 And here, on the site of Fort Stanwix, 
 Where "Old Glory" was first unfurled. 
 
 Is the vow of their "Daughters" devotion. 
 To the bonniest flag in the world. 
 
 Mary L. Bissell, (1896.) 
 
FORT STANWIX. 
 
 The construction of Fort Stanwix was com- 
 menced August 23, 1 758, by the troops under 
 Brigadier General Stanwix under an order from 
 General Abercrombie and nearly completed in No- 
 vember of the same year, and was named in honor 
 of General Stanwix. It was an unequal sided 
 quadrilateral with bastions at the corners. Its cir- 
 cumference was 1 ,690^2 feet — more than that of 
 either Fort Edward or Fort William Henry. It 
 was the second most costly fort built by the Brit- 
 ish Government in the colonies and cost £60,000. 
 It was formed of earth and sod embankments with 
 horizontal wooden pickets at the parapet and ver- 
 tical ones in the center of the moat. Within the 
 fort were the magazine, quarters for the men and a 
 parade ground. The construction of the fort was 
 for the purpose of guarding the Oneida Carrying 
 Place, then unprotected by the destruction of Forts 
 Bull and Wilhams. 
 
 On November 5, 1 768, there was executed here 
 a deed between the whites and Indians establishing 
 a boundary line from the lower end of ihe Ohio 
 
 5 
 
River to Wood Creek, the Indians to retain control 
 of the territory north and west of the line. This 
 deed was signed by the six chiefs of the confed- 
 eracy of the Six Nations convened here by Sir Will- 
 iam Johnson. 
 
 From the close of the French and Indian wars 
 to the Revolutionary war the fort went into decay, 
 but was repaired in 1777 by the troops of the Third 
 New York Regiment under Col. Peter Gansevoort 
 and Lieut. Col. Marinus Willett. The siege of the 
 fort by St. Leger and his force of 1 ,600 regulars, 
 tones and Indians was begun August 3. 1777, and 
 lasted until August 22nd. Gansevoort's garrison 
 numbered about 750 men. Willett's sortie from the 
 fort, attracting, by the sound of the guns, the at- 
 tention of the British at Oriskany, caused a diversion 
 to be made to Fort Stanwix and helped make the 
 battle of Oriskany one of the decisive battles of the 
 Revolution. 
 
 Here between August 3 and 6, 1777, the Stars 
 and Stripes were first unfurled in battle in Willett's 
 famous sortie, the flag, as described in Willett's 
 Narrative, being made from white ammunition 
 shirts for the white r tripes, from a camlet cloak 
 taken from the enemy at Peekskill for the blue, 
 6 
 
and from different pieces of stuff procured from 
 one and another of the garrison for the red stripes. 
 
 On October 22, 1 784, the Treaty of Fort Stan- 
 wix was made here between the chiefs and warriors 
 of the Six Nations and commissioners of the United 
 States. By this treaty the Indians reHnquished claim 
 to a large portion of the territory north of the line 
 given in the deed of 1 768. This was the first treaty 
 made by the Six Nations with the United States 
 after the Revolutionary War. Brant, Red Jacket 
 and Cornplanter were present, as well as Lafayette. 
 
 Fort Stanwix went gradually into disuse and de- 
 cay after the Revolutionary War and was entirely 
 demolished soon after I 820, — but recently was care- 
 fully surveyed and marked by cannon placed near 
 the four bastions by the Gansevoort-Willett Chap- 
 ter, Sons of the American Revolution, and by 
 bronze tablets placed on the gun carriages by Fort 
 Stanwix Chapter, Daughters of the American Rev- 
 olution.

ORDER OF EXERCISES. 
 
 Singing. — America. 
 
 Regent. — Daughters, we meet as descendants of 
 men and women who set the world a glorious exam- 
 ple of lofty and unselfish patriotism. As we revere 
 their lives and deeds, let us pledge ourselves anew to 
 loyal service to the fatherland, to the upholding of 
 its standard and the upbuilding of patriotic charac- 
 ter. 
 
 Prayers. — No. 1 or No. 2 or No. 3. 
 
 No. 1. 
 
 O most powerful Lord God, blessed and only 
 Potentate, who hast granted unto our country lib- 
 erty, and established our Nation in righteousness by 
 the people's will: Guide and direct the multitude 
 whom Thou hast ordained in power, by Thy pure 
 wisdom and Thy just laws; that their counsels may 
 be filled with knowledge and equity, and the whole 
 estate of the Commonwealth be preserved in peace, 
 unity, strength and honour; that the people may 
 prosper in freedom beneath an equal law, and our 
 Nation may magnify Thy Name in all the earth; 
 through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 
 9 
 
No. 2. 
 
 O thou Infinite Presence, be so vitally near us 
 that all thoughts of thy remoteness shall fall away. 
 When selfish and unloving we are shut from each 
 other and from thee, O God, while the glowing 
 heart of love brings thee out of the distant and the 
 dim to the clear and near. The mists that cloud our 
 vision are all within. Slowly down over the 
 wearied world, unloosed by thy hand, falls the 
 darkness ; in this hour we would be conscious of the 
 still working of thy power. 1 hine are the vast de- 
 signs in which we would have our own disappear. 
 Here and now we would put ourselves in communion 
 with the heroic dead in the nation's past whose de- 
 posits of word and deed make up the background 
 of Hfe from which the hero is ever speaking to us in 
 terms of patriotic devotion. This background of 
 life, what is it but a broad garden in which thou 
 hast planted many a flower. Yet to wander there 
 in that past glory, breathing the perfume of bygone 
 consecration, is not for us to serve our Country. To 
 pedestal heroes m granite is not to be a hero oneself. 
 We thank Thee for the great law of sacrifice, so 
 woven into life, individual and national, and under 
 it may we have found our place in the broad sacra- 
 ment of human service. May the men and women 
 
 10 
 
that v/e are yet to be, rise so steadily that what we 
 now are may speedily cease to be. We ask that the 
 past be so clearly interpreted as not to misguide us. 
 May we not think that by going back to the fields 
 skirted by receding duties, but by going on, obedient 
 to the newly risen claim, do we find union with the 
 hero. All heroes have the one same spirit, the dead, 
 the living; may we have it too. O God, may no 
 fervor of admiration over the courage of a fore- 
 father cover from our eyes our own moral timidity. 
 Make us brave in the heroics of war, if need be, and 
 in those of peace in their unending demand. Give 
 to us the passive courage that bears, the active 
 courage that dares. Reveal to us the limits of our 
 faith and the possibiHties of our devotion. As with 
 the hero on the field, may we not be joyless in the 
 presence of death. Like the voice of the thrush sing- 
 ing in the rain, may our confidence in Thee pour it- 
 self out under whatever change of circumstance. Re- 
 new within us the sense of triumph and of joy. Give 
 unto us, O thou still and quiet God, the quiet mind 
 and heart, especially when the winds of passion blow 
 across the threshing floor of the nation and weak men 
 lose their footing. May we not be lovers of fierce 
 war, but embody in ourselves the beatitude of the 
 peacemakers. May there fall upon us from this serv- 
 
 11 
 
ice, as dew from perfumed herbs, joy and profit. 
 May we glory in the repubhc and be such true 
 friends of the people that the republic may glory in 
 us. Hasten the day when all heroes shall shine in 
 their true luster. Whether it be ours to shine or not 
 we would have God's light shine through us, we 
 keeping lowly for the upbuilding of his everlasting 
 kingdom. 
 
 Dr. H. H. Peabody. 
 
 No. 3. 
 
 Our father's Cod! from out whose hand 
 The centuries fall like grains of sand. 
 We meet today, united, free. 
 And loyal to our land and Thee, 
 To thank Thee for the era done. 
 And trust Thee for the opening one. 
 
 Oh make Thou us, through centuries long. 
 
 In peace secure, in justice strong; 
 
 Around our gift of freedom draw 
 
 The safeguards of Thy righteous laiv; 
 
 And cast in some diviner mould. 
 
 Let the nen> cycle shame the old! 
 
 Whittier. 
 
 12 
 
Response. — (after each prayer) Amen. 
 
 Regent. — This nation is the product of the live,; of 
 earnest men with hearts stirred by noble principles 
 and seeking freedom in their use. Three centuries 
 ago, in the name of God, for the sake of right 
 dearest to mankind, they left their own motherland 
 and in their day of small things came here. For 
 more than a century did these hardy colonists strive 
 mid daily and nightly peril, in hunger and loneliness, 
 against savage beasts and a mere savage foe ; until 
 the wilderness was won and a chain of common- 
 wealths forged which should through all time stand 
 for righteousness, liberty and justice. 
 
 Response. — Our fathers trusted in Thee; they 
 trusted and Thou didst deliver them. 
 
 Regent. — Then came a bitter struggle of years 
 with rival fees for possession of the great central 
 plain, yea, for the very soil they had found and 
 made their homes; the land consecrated by their suf- 
 ferings and sanctified by their buried dead; but in 
 spite of fcreign guile and savage craft, they met and 
 overcame the alliance of French and Indian all along 
 their forest frontier and at last established the sway 
 of the Anglo-Saxon race o'er all our land. 
 
 13 
 
Response. — The Lord hath strengthened the bars 
 of thy gates, he hath blessed Thy children within 
 thee. 
 
 Regent. — But soon was dimmed the joy of the 
 common triumph over the enemies of foreign race and 
 tongue. For the helping hand of the mother coun- 
 try became that of the oppressor and was lifted in 
 harsh injustice against our patriot fathers. Petition, 
 remonstrance, argument and entreaty were found to 
 be in vain ; and confident of the righteousness of 
 their cause and believing all other resources to be of 
 no avail and appealing to the Supreme Judge to 
 defend the right, in the day of their extreme need 
 they raised the banner of resistance and proclaimed 
 to the world a solemn and momentous Declaration of 
 Independence. 
 
 Response. — The God who gave us life gave us 
 liberty at the same time. 
 
 Regent. — With hardy valor they drew their 
 swords and sheathed them not till they had won in- 
 dependence and their inalienable rights were secured 
 to them by their own right hand, toiling and striv- 
 ing under the precious providence of God. With 
 wisdom in council, with valor in conflict, amid pri- 
 14 
 
vation, discouragement and distress, in spite of tory 
 hate and sinister treachery, they poured forth their 
 treasure and their blood as water, they endured 
 wounds, torture and the lingering death of the prison- 
 ships for the common safety. And from such soil 
 blossomed the white flower of our freedom. 
 
 Response. — For the Lord hath done great things 
 for us whereof we are glad. 
 
 Regent. — As the daughters of such sires and of 
 those brave women whose tender eyes looked on and 
 encouraged their deeds and who shared their suffer- 
 ings, toil and sacrifices, let us strive to serve our 
 fatherland and to arouse in every heart a pure and 
 passionate love of country. Let us do our part in safe- 
 guarding with God's help a republic that shall stand 
 unshaken as a stately and enduring fabric in which 
 countless generations may come to the blessings of 
 liberty regulated by law. As the homekeepers of 
 this nation, let us cherish the purity and sweetness of 
 our family life, maintaining there twin altars of piety 
 and patriotism. 
 
 Invocation. — 
 ''Lord of the Universe! shield us and guide us. 
 
 Trusting Thee a/lPaps, through shadow and sun! 
 Thou hast united us, who shall divide us.^ 
 
 Keep us, O ^eep us the Many-in-one!'' 
 15 
 
Regent. — We, of this chapter, hold in special re- 
 membrance that Httle band of noble men and wom- 
 en, who, in the lonely frontier post, in the midst of a 
 long and perilous siege, yet with the strong desire 
 ever present in loyal hearts for the visible symbol of 
 the principles for which they strive, fashioned out of 
 homely materials their first flag. In the face of 
 overwhelming numbers, amid danger and privation, 
 the brave defenders of Fort Stanwix, made strong 
 through their faith in the right and justice of their 
 cause, proudly unfurled for the first time in battle 
 the Stars and Stripes and won the victory. 
 
 Response. — Let us, their daughters, honor and up- 
 hold the flag they loved and the principles for which 
 they were willing even to lay down their lives. 
 
 Regent. — 
 
 "Cod of our Fathers, k^otvn of old. 
 Lord of our far-flung battle line. 
 
 Beneath whose arvful hand we hold 
 Dominion over palm and pine. 
 
 Lord Cod of Hosts, be rvith us \je/." 
 
 Response. — ''Lest rve forget. Lest Tve forget."
