ons he showered on his
former adversary in arms. Captain Glazier was greatly impressed by this
display of good feeling, and the evident desire manifested on the part
of many Southern gentlemen who received him to bury the animosities of
the late war and promote a state of harmony and cordial friendship. The
blue and the grey are no longer estranged, or such a hearty reception
could not have been accorded to Captain Glazier, whose name and
reputation were well known to many in the Crescent City as of a prolific
writer on military subjects from a Union standpoint. Mr. Coleman's
apparently sincere expressions of a deep friendly interest in the
Captain's exploits on the Mississippi impressed him very sensibly. Want

Albert G. Blanchard, also a member of the New Orleans Academy of
Sciences, and formerly a brigadier-general, C. S. A., shows his
appreciation of the explorations which Captain Glazier had successfully

Albert G. Blanchard,
Deputy City Surveyor.
New Orleans,
_November_ 22, 1881.

We next quote from the pen of Dr. J. S. Copes, the learned President of
the New Orleans Academy of Sciences. Dr. Copes manifested an intense
interest in the results of Captain Glazier's expedition, and endeavored
by every method within his power to show the high estimation in which he
held the intrepid explorer:

Captain Glazier:--I congratulate you upon the successful completion
of your search for the primal reservoir of the Mississippi River.
It would be well for the country to erect before the view of its
youths and young men two monuments, three thousand miles
asunder--the one at the source, the other at the mouth of the great
river of North America--upon which should be chiseled "Enterprise,
Courage, Faith, Fortitude, Patriotism, Philanthropy," leaving to
posterity the selection of an illustrative name to be engraven on
each o
