Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sidney Lanier: Musician, Poet, Soldier Lanier graduated from Oglethorpe College at Midway, Ga., at the age of eighteen, sharing first honor with the late Robert Bayne. He clerked for a year at the Macon Post-office; was tutor for a time at his Alma Mater, until he entered the Confederate Army. In April 1861 he left for the front on the day that Virginia seceded from the Union, with the Macon Volunteers, Second Georgia Battalion, the first military organization from any other Southern state to go to the defense of the South in Virginia. Although thrice offered promotion, he refused each time, because acceptance would have meant separation from his brother Clifford.
