Kelly, commander of Post 15, Department of Massachusetts, G. A. R., and
was honored by the presence on the platform of representatives from
nearly all of the Posts of Boston and adjacent cities. In presenting me
to my audience Captain Kelly spoke in the following terms:

    "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: It gives me pleasure to have the honor of
    introducing to you one who, by his services in the field and by the
    works of his pen, is entitled to your consideration, and the
    confidence of all comrades of the 'Grand Army of the Republic.' I
    desire to say that he comes well accredited, furnished with the
    proper vouchers and documents, and highly endorsed and recommended
    by the officers of the Department of the State of New York. Though
    young in years, his life has been one of varied and exciting
    experience. Born in the wilds of St. Lawrence County, New York, his
    education was drawn from the great book of Nature; and from his
    surroundings he early imbibed a love of liberty. His early
    associations naturally invested him with a fondness for adventure
    and excitement and when the call of war was heard he at once
    responded, and enlisted in the Harris Light Cavalry, with which
    corps he passed through many exciting scenes of march and fray. His
    experience amid the various vicissitudes of the war, in camp and
    field and prison, have been vividly portrayed by his pen in his
    various publications. Still inspired by this love of adventure, he
    proposes to undertake the novelty of a journey across the Continent
    in the saddle. His objects are manifold. While visiting scenes and
    becoming more familiar with his own country, he will collect facts
    and information for a new book, and at his various stopping-places
    he will lecture under the auspices and for the benefit of the 'Grand
    Army of the Republic,' to whose fraternal regard he is most warmly
    commended. Allow me then, ladies and gentlemen, without further
    ceremony, to present to you the Soldier-Author, and our comrade,
    Willard Glazier."
