Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from These Remarks Are Affectionately Dedicated to the Confederate Soldiers of the Rank and File, and to Henry L. Wyatt: The First Hero Who Fell in Defence of the the South
And there was mounting in hot haste, the steed, The mustering squadron, and the clattering car, Went pouring forward with impetuous Speed, And swiftly forming in the ranks of war. We see fathers putting away the clinging arms of child dren, and bending above the cradles of dimpled babes. We see noble women, triumphant over fear, speeding husband, fathers, brothers. Sons, to gory fields, to battle for the right. We hear the roll of drums, we see marching columns with ban ners, wrought by the hand of beauty and love. We go with them to the battle plains, across the rivers, over the valleys, up the mountain slopes, and 10! Every where.
