This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1899 Excerpt: ...words of the Battle Hymn' began to come to me. It was not yet daylight when I got up and hurriedly wrote the words on a scrap of paper and went back to bed." And, most wonderful of all, the first rough draft needed almost no revision. No country can point to a more noble and patriotic hymn.

The direct influence of war on literature is the aspect most in teresting to the student, for anything which enriches or inspires literature is matter of deepest moment to the lover of books. It is with equal pride of country that we investigate the war poetry of the South, and the difference in quality only adds pathetic interest to it.

But several of the finest came from the pens of civilians also. A few written by soldiers on the field of battle are: "All Quiet on the Potomac," by Lamar Fontaine; "Southerns, Hear Your Country's Call"; "My Maryland,&quo...
