Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gathering of the Unions (Versified From the Pioneer): The American Flag; And Other Poems The Editor deems it necessary to state, that the only alteration he has made in the article from the Pioneer, is that of words to adapt it to the measure of the verse. The reason of his putting it into verse, was this. In a conversation, with a friend, on the merit of the article, the Editor maintained that it was highly poetical in its language - that in fact, its greatest merit was derived from its poetry. This was partially denied and the versification was the result - the Editor now thinks that the question is settled as to its poetry. His reason for offering it to the public, in its present form, is, that others who admired the article as much as he did himself, may have the opportunity of preserving it in a neat and compact form. Not being of sufficient length to fill a sheet, he has added a few short poems which he deemed worthy of preservation. The beautiful lines on the American Flag are from an American Newspaper. The lines headed The Procession, and those on the lamented death of the late Julian Hibbert, are from the Guardian, and the pen of a working man. The others it is not necessary to mention particularly, as the Editor alone is answerable for their defects. Upon the whole, he trusts that it will be found a useful pamphlet, blending instruction with amusement. This has been his aim and he trusts that it will not altogether fail.
