Zach Montgomery speeches, 1864 [manuscript].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/23848757

Two untitled, handwritten speeches by Montgomery, a San Francisco, Calif., lawyer who supported the South in the Civil War and refused to take the California "test oath" on constitutional grounds. The speeches were delivered at Democratic mass meetings in San Francisco, in 1864. One speech, delivered in August, protests against arrests of those who refused to take the test oath; the other, delivered in September, opposes the re-election of Abraham Lincoln. The texts of these speeches fill 143 pages in a notebook; emendations, but not the texts, are in Montgomery's hand.
