Abstract:
In the U.S. Senate Chamber on January 19, 1895, Senator Matt W. Ransom delivered a eulogy on the death of Senator Zebulon B. Vance. Vance had been Colonel of the 26th Regiment North Carolina Troops in the early part of the Civil War and later the wartime Governor of North Carolina. The speech was long and the editors have deleted a few paragraphs, but they indicated that it does not detract from the overall oration.
