Centennial Of The Capture Of Major AndrÃ(c)

This commemorative oration, "Centennial Of The Capture Of Major AndrÃ(c) Oration At Tarrytown, September 23d, 1880," recounts the capture of British Major John AndrÃ(c) during the American Revolutionary War. Delivered by Chauncey Mitchell Depew, a prominent orator and politician, the speech commemorates the centennial of this pivotal event, exploring its significance within the broader context of the war. The capture of Major AndrÃ(c), a key figure in negotiations with the American traitor Benedict Arnold, exposed Arnoldâ€(TM)s plot to surrender West Point to the British, a potentially devastating blow to the American cause. Depew's oration offers insight into the historical importance of this event, its impact on the war's trajectory, and the enduring legacy of the individuals involved. It serves as a valuable historical document, reflecting the sentiments and understanding of the American Revolution a century after its occurrence.
