Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from From Old Fields: Poems of the Civil War In dedicating this book to the people of Kentucky, I do what would have pleased Mr. Shaler, for although he was in close sympathy with his adopted Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and at all times an earnest champion of its enlightenment and its noble institutions, yet when it was a question of elemental emotion, of the deeper ideals of life, he found himself back in the favoured land of his birth. Claiming the whole world as his own by divine right of sympathy, he professed to be at home everywhere: nevertheless, his associations with his native State, mellowed and made picturesque by hereditary traditions, were the surest and most enduring of his possessions, and as time wore on his spirit seemed to dwell there with strange peace and contentment. In that youthful, gallant, and victorious world - the world that gave to the Confederacy "The Orphan Brigade," whose prowess is celebrated in these pages - he liked to lose his personality in the general tendencies and accomplishments of its people. Imaginatively capable both of their defects and their virtues, he was in reality the incarnation of their highest type of gentleman, - the type to which Washington, Lee, Thomas, Farragut, and many others belonged, dutiful, just, dignified, and courageous men, equal to all social demands, and able to win inspiration from any and every call to duty.
