Over the mountains of Winter, And the cold, cold plains of snow, Down in the valleys of Summer, Calling my love I go. And strong in my woe and passion, I climb up the hills of Spring, To listen if I hear his voice In Bongs he used to sing. I wait in the fields of Autumn, And gather a feast of fruit, And call my love to the banquet; His lips are cold and mute. I say to the wild bird flying: "My darling sang sweet as you; Fly o'er the earth in search of him, And to the skies of blue." I say to the wild-wood flowers: "My love was a friend to you; Send one of your fragrant spirits To the cool Isles of Dew," "Gold-girt by a belt of moonbeams, And seek on their gleaming shore. A breath of the vanished sweetness For me his red lips bore." I stand at the gates of Morning, When the radiant angel, Light, Draws back the great bolt of darkness, And by the gates of Night, When the hands of bright stars tremble While clasping their lanterns bright; And I hope to see him passing, And touch his garments white. 0, lore! if you hear me calling, Flee not from the wailing cry; Come from the grottoes of Silence And hear me, or I die! Stand out on the hills of Echo; The sensitive, pulsing air Will thrill at your softest whisper-- Speak to me, love, from there! O, love, if I hear you calling, Though far on the heavenly side, My voice will float on the billow: "Come to your spir1t bride." --Mary A. H. Gay. TO THE READER, Who has kindly perused these sketches, I would say, as they have already attained length and breadth not anticipated from the beginning, I will withhold the sequels to many of them for, perhaps, another volume of reminiscences. Were I possessed of the Sam Weller genius and versatility, and the happy faculty of making the...

Book excerpt: Most of the writing about the Civil War is focused on the military strategies and the personalities of those involved. Too little attention has been given to the civilian noncombatants and to the hardship they endured during the conflict. In 1894, the author compiled her letters and diaries from the war for this book. Her stories, as seen from her home in central Georgia, reflect how the events leading up to the fall of the Southern Confederacy, the burning of Atlanta, and the economic destruction of the Southern way of life affected her, her family, and her friends. This reprint has been completely reformatted in a larger, re-typed format for the modern reader.

Download or read book A Wisconsin Boy in Dixie written by James King Newton and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Unlike many of his fellows, [James Newton] was knowledgeable, intuitive, and literate; like many of his fellows he was cast into the role of soldier at only eighteen years of age. He was polished enough to write drumhead and firelight letters of fine literary style. It did not take long for this farm boy turned private to discover the grand design of the conflict in which he was engaged, something which many of the officers leading the armies never did discover."--Victor Hicken, Journal of the Illinois State Historical Society "When I wrote to you last I was at Madison with no prospect of leaving very soon, but I got away sooner than I expected to." So wrote James Newton upon leaving Camp Randall for Vicksburg in 1863 with the Fourteenth Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry. Newton, who had been a rural schoolteacher before he joined the Union army in 1861, wrote to his parents of his experiences at Shiloh, Corinth, Vicksburg, on the Red River, in Missouri, at Nashville, at Mobile, and as a prisoner of war. His letters, selected and edited by noted historian Stephen E. Ambrose, reveal Newton as a young man who matured in the war, rising in rank from private to lieutenant. A Wisconsin Boy in Dixie reveals Newton as a young man who grew to maturity through his Civil War experience, rising in rank from private to lieutenant. Writing soberly about the less attractive aspects of army life, Newton's comments on fraternizing with the Rebs, on officers, and on discipline are touched with a sense of humor--"a soldier's best friend," he claimed. He also became sensitive to the importance of political choices. After giving Lincoln the first vote he had ever cast, Newton wrote: "In doing so I felt that I was doing my country as much service as I have ever done on the field of battle."

Book excerpt: A gripping and original account of how the Civil War began and a second American revolution unfolded, setting Abraham Lincoln on the path to greatness and millions of slaves on the road to freedom. An epic of courage and heroism beyond the battlefields, 1861 introduces us to a heretofore little-known cast of Civil War heroes—among them an acrobatic militia colonel, an explorer’s wife, an idealistic band of German immigrants, a regiment of New York City firemen, a community of Virginia slaves, and a young college professor who would one day become president. Their stories take us from the corridors of the White House to the slums of Manhattan, from the waters of the Chesapeake to the deserts of Nevada, from Boston Common to Alcatraz Island, vividly evoking the Union at its moment of ultimate crisis and decision. Hailed as “exhilarating….Inspiring…Irresistible…” by The New York Times Book Review, Adam Goodheart’s bestseller 1861 is an important addition to the Civil War canon. Includes black-and-white photos and illustrations.

Download or read book Dixie's Daughters written by Karen L. Cox and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2019-02-04 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wall Street Journal’s Five Best Books on the Confederates’ Lost Cause Southern Association for Women Historians Julia Cherry Spruill Prize Even without the right to vote, members of the United Daughters of the Confederacy proved to have enormous social and political influence throughout the South—all in the name of preserving Confederate culture. Karen Cox traces the history of the UDC, an organization founded in 1894 to vindicate the Confederate generation and honor the Lost Cause. In this edition, with a new preface, Cox acknowledges the deadly riots in Charlottesville, Virginia, showing why myths surrounding the Confederacy continue to endure. The Daughters, as UDC members were popularly known, were daughters of the Confederate generation. While southern women had long been leaders in efforts to memorialize the Confederacy, UDC members made the Lost Cause a movement about vindication as well as memorialization. They erected monuments, monitored history for "truthfulness," and sought to educate coming generations of white southerners about an idyllic past and a just cause—states' rights. Soldiers' and widows' homes, perpetuation of the mythology of the antebellum South, and pro-southern textbooks in the region's white public schools were all integral to their mission of creating the New South in the image of the Old. UDC members aspired to transform military defeat into a political and cultural victory, in which states' rights and white supremacy remained intact. To the extent they were successful, the Daughters helped to preserve and perpetuate an agenda for the New South that included maintaining the social status quo. Placing the organization's activities in the context of the postwar and Progressive-Era South, Cox describes in detail the UDC's origins and early development, its efforts to collect and preserve manuscripts and artifacts and to build monuments, and its later role in the peace movement and World War I. This remarkable history of the organization presents a portrait of two generations of southern women whose efforts helped shape the social and political culture of the New South. It also offers a new historical perspective on the subject of Confederate memory and the role southern women played in its development.
