The following is from the book Military Morale of Nations and Races that Charles Young wrote in 1912 while he was a Major in the U.S. Army on assignment as Military Attaché (American Legation) in Monrovia, Liberia:
. . . Men who have thus heard within themselves the calls of freedom and manhood can never more be the same dull, lifeless clay that their progenitors were. The roar of this lion once heard in the human heart fills it with a desire that can never be appeased by cajolery, threats, or force. Throughout the length and breath of our land may the dignity of all and any labor well performed be upheld. May manhood rights and moral and civil liberty be guaranteed all men, not only by law, but by the love of justice on the part of the citizen.
