On the fourth side is this tribute, of which the last sentence was from Keitt's eulogy in Congress: Ever able, manly, just, and heroic, illustrating true patriotism by devotion to his country, the whole South unites with his bereaved family in deploring his ultimately end. Earth has never pillowed upon her bosom a truer son, nor Heaven opened wide her gates to receive a manlier spirit. This spot was visited March 26, 1890. by the writer,—perhaps the only, or at least the first, Northern man who has ev
