This volume captures the spirit of a pivotal moment in American history: the 1863 Independence Day celebration at Tammany Hall in New York City, during the height of the Civil War. Published by order of the Tammany Society, or Columbian Order, it features the complete record of the day's events.

Included are the oration by Hon. Henry C. Murphy, a poem by Henry Morford, Esq., and addresses by Hon. Horatio Seymour and other prominent figures. These speeches and literary contributions offer a window into the prevailing sentiments and political discourse of the era, particularly within the influential Tammany Hall political machine. The event provides insight into the complex relationship between nationalism, local politics, and the ongoing conflict that threatened to divide the nation. A valuable resource for understanding the social and political landscape of Civil War-era New York.
